KennyFKINPowerz Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 We used to use baseball bats. It actually works pretty good and its easy to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 baseball bats work okay... done it many times, but still prefer the eastwhood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 the better question is who can produce some extreme bends with no paint chipping? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 the better question is who can produce some extreme bends with no paint chipping? Not possible.. even with heating. There's only a certain point you can go safely, without chipping on any car. And it also depends on the thickness of paint the manufacturer uses as well, that can make a huge difference. What are you trying to do that you need such a roll? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 I've been trying to get this done forever. Rob will have a fender roller in the upcoming months from what I heard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRed05 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 the better question is who can produce some extreme bends with no paint chipping? Farkas did mine and he did a great job. He used a heatgun and a roller tool and rolled that fender all the way in. No chips but there is a crack right on the bend, can't really notice it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDHG940 Posted February 3, 2010 Report Share Posted February 3, 2010 Rob you need to get one, I need my black coupe fenders rolled as well. PM me a price, I dont want to try it for the first time and f*%k up my paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chips but there is a crack right on the bend, can't really notice it same here...one went perfectly, the other slightly cracked, but it cracked because it has a bunch of body filler on it, and its on the inside of the lip at the end so you cant see it...not a huge deal to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boosted98gst Posted February 5, 2010 Report Share Posted February 5, 2010 I have both the eastwood and stance roller, but both rollers are being used by friends. If using the eastwood make sure the stock suspension is on the car , it makes it much better due to angle of the tool, the eastwood is made for stockish heights. My stance roller is made for car's that are not stock height and does a much better job with rolling and pulling the fenders to your spec.
