Fender rolling meet! May 17-18

[dmention7]

That idea is full of win, AJ! I'm PM-ing them now!


Update: I have the okay from MAP to rock the fender roller in their lot during dyno day. I will also have the tool on sunday in case we run out of time or anyone who wants to cannot make it.

Update #2: Rental with shipping both ways is $82.50

So if it's just Eddy and I, it's $41.25 each... if Jay is still in, $27.50 each, and so on.

Come on guys, I know more people need their fenders rolled. Join the fun and lower the price!

 

[Young Roids]

Hate to do this but I gotta cancel out on this one. I think the paint on my car is very brittle so I am too scared to roll the fenders.

 

[AJ]

What car do you have? We found out this weekend, I need it done with any weight in the back seat. That was rough.

 

[Young Roids]

MS3. I was using the polisher on it the other day and a small chip of paint chiped off on the bumper from just the polisher. That kind of pissed me off about the paint so I don't want to take any chances with it.

 

[AJ]

Take that shit back to the deal, that should be covered under war as well.

+1

 

[Young Roids]

Good idea. What would they do about it? repaint the bumper?

 

[JustROLLIN]

I prolly would not tell them you were using a polisher though. They will likely blame you for the chip whether you are competent with one or not.

 

[ZoomZoom Diva]

How many miles and how long have you had the car? I wouldn't think they would cover a paint chip (except perhaps for obvious peeling), particularly if the car is outside of the 12/12 intial window.

I suppose not. But a spinning foam pad should not cause a chip of paint to come off regardless.

I have had the car since mid december and it only has like 3,000 miles.


Just to clarify it is a very small chip on the rear bumper but it goes clean down to the black plastic. I might come down to the dyno day and show you it in person. I am a little tight for cash this month and I am still contemplating weather to actually get it dynoed or not.

 

[AJ]

There is no time for contemplating, only to dyno.

 

[dmention7]

Okay, got the shipping confirmation and final price.... $80.50

That's $26.83 each if Jay is out.


If anyone else wants to get in on this, the per person price will drop accordingly. Priority will obviously be given to those on the list, but I can make arrangements for anyone to do their fenders during the full 5 days I have the kit.

 

[AJ]

I just need to talk someone into doing mine for me (Nate? ) as I want it done, just don't really trust myself to do it. Has anyone done it before?

 

[Big Nate]

I have done it. My fenders turned out great.

 

[Picklz]

I drank beer and watched Nate roll his, it didn't look too bad, key is to take your time and roll a little at a time it seemed.

 

[dmention7]

yup, we're just gonna take it slow and make liberal use of the heat gun. I watched a couple vids online, and it really does look easy.

AJ, I rolled my own fenders! It's not perfect, but it's really very easy.

Matt and Jay have the two key points as I know them, take it slowly a little at a time, and use the heat gun liberally. Hot sunny day is nice too...

 

[Young Roids]

Does this liberal use of the heat gun risk paint damage though?
