Originally posted by Dr.AK View PostQuestion: Using a fender roller - can I roll out some very slight dents I made in the fender while hammering down the fender lip? I had my rear fenders done by a shop but it wasnt enough, so to stop the wheel rubbing I used a rubber mallet and a block of iron to flatten the fender edge. Passenger's side came out perfect, driver's side has 3 small dents on the top of the arch. If I use a fender roller to further roll teh fenders, is there any chance that I can roll these flat again?
And for understanding purpose:
Basically all you do is heat the paint and gently apply pressure with the fender roller and do a few rolls over the arch to get an even result?
Basically, you're right, the heat will soften the paint to try to prevent cracking. its best to make a lot of passes and work very slowly and carefully. you have to adjust the hieght and angle of the roller a lot while you're working too.

I did a terrible job of rolling them myself, but they look about as thin as the pix you showed of that black 99-04. So, for me to get more clearance it seems like pulling would be my only option other than raising the car back up some (really don't want to do that!).
I'd try going done to something like a 265/50 and drop it some more

I can trim/shave fenders no problem, but the e28s can be pulled pretty good too.
Again, dont really want this thread to turn into an ad, but hit me up on the PM.

Originally posted by Alex@Pure-Euro.com View PostIt seems that simple, but its definitely not. After watching Tony roll my fenders, it's not as easy as bolting the roller on the car and just rolling the fenders. As you get closer to the back of the car or closer to the front of the car, you have to adjust the angle of the roller. There is such a great amount of pressure being applied from the roller, that you'll end up pushing out the front and back of the fender, and the center part MIGHT be ok/rolled or probably pushed inward a bit from the outer portions of the fender being pushed outward. Even though Tony does it really quickly and makes it look so damn easy, its definitely an easy way to fuck up your fenders.Yeah, i'm that guy you've heard about that rolls and pulls fenders in SoCal , hit me up .

People need to stop "trying" to roll their own fenders when they have no idea what they are doing. Nothing worse than seeing a car with nice wheels and stance but the fender looks like some one put in in a meat grinder -___- fail.

Fronts a breeze but the rear friggin sucks!
You got a few inches of fender to roll but it needs to be notched in the door jam or it wont roll the last few mm's next to the door jam.
Shaving the fender normally works with big sedans like that, the older Mercs are like that, either shave the whole fender lip, or just the area near the door.Yeah, i'm that guy you've heard about that rolls and pulls fenders in SoCal , hit me up .
