I'd be interested in seeing how your roll comes out. I'm worried the paint might crack or something.

I need to get my rear fenders rolled. If you are in SA or Austin and have a fender roller, let me know if you're willing to rent yours & help me roll my fenders. Just let me know how much. I'll even buy lunch or dinner. And I'll drive to your location. How long does it take to roll both sides?

Hey man, If you don't mind driving to Austin, we can do it this Saturday. I still haven't done mine yet, so that will give me a reason to. My friends and I usually have a tech day going on Saturdays in my garage.

I have a fender rolling tool, and do Z's in my area, when I first started I was taking 45 min/side! After 4-5 rolls Im down to 25 min/side, Ive never cracked the paint, or crinkled a fender. HEAT is the secret to success! OP-good luck...

make sure to heat up the fenders before rolling or you will be damaging the paint. or you can just got to a good auto body and tell them to cut your fenders a little bit.
