Default Fender rolling OC (need mobile)

I did search but last thread on this in OC is closed...

Looking for someone to roll my rear fenders similar to the fronts that are done from the factory (so I just need the inner lip rolled and don't want the arch pulled or anything).

I need it to be mobile as my wheels are away getting refinished, and I want to get this done in the meantime. My car's on jackstands right now. I'm based in Tustin!

Any recommendations?

Hey - thanks for the offer! Have you done many? I thought I'd read there is a possibility of paint cracking, so bizarrely I actually prefer to pay someone so I have some ability to ask for any issues to be fixed. I'm not sure if that was for simple rolling, though, or if it was for more advanced work. If the risk of paint cracking is actually negligible I'd be happy to take you up on the offer!

I just had my rears rolled and the guy used the Eastwood tool as well. I didnt have any cracking or chipping.

Who did you use? I did a bit more research - it sounds like using a heat gun is important to reduce the risk of cracking - did the guy use one?

If it is OEM original paint it will not chip (edit- or crack) with a heat gun. If you have had previous body work or a repaint it will be prone to chipping. I used a heat gun with my car and a digital paint meter to verify paint when I do my friends' cars.

I believe it's original paint but I'll double check tomorrow - it sounds like you've got some experience so I'd love to take you up on the offer assuming my paint is ok! I'll pm you tomorrow once I've checked if that's ok?
