Hops Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Thinking of lowering your car? Better get your fenders rolled first! I think this is necessary on ANY Subaru... I couldn't find a shop anywhere to roll my fenders a while back, so I purchased an Eastwood fender roller and a heat gun and did it myself. I've done numerous cars now, not just Subarus. S2000s, MS3s, GTIs, S4s, and a ton of Legacys. I work out of my garage, but I will travel for an extra $20 if your car is not capable of moving. My price is $60 for front or rear, $100 for all four corners. You get a discount if you bring me good beer. http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n121/JDMChizad/DSC04117.jpg Buy my cars!

dazzen Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I'm worried about the sealed seem on the lip of the rear fenders popping open if rolled, if salt gets in there then let the rust fest begin. Any issues with that rear seem during rolling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted December 20, 2009 Author Share Posted December 20, 2009 The rear lip keeps all sorts of junk trapped in it without rolling it in, so it could still hold in moisture and rust... But I rolled it just enough to have a rounded edge instead of flat so the tires have plenty of clearance. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hops Posted December 26, 2009 Author Share Posted December 26, 2009 Yeah that's a classic trick. But it doesn't always work as well as an actually roller and you have a better chance of cracking paint......... Seriously. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SubieBlkOut Posted March 8, 2010 Share Posted March 8, 2010 Any tips on rolling? I am going to have to do it soon to fit my new summers. I got 235/45/17. They are really close to fitting but the rears rub when I hit bumps. How did your paint hold up? How long did it take you? Would love some good advise.

Hops Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Takes patience! Make sure you get that paint hot as hell with a heat gun or you could risk cracking paint. Just keep it hot and slowly roll the lip in a little at a time. Buy my cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubieBlkOut Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I tried it last night. Only one side (left rear) was rubbing cause I got hit there and insurance is dragging their feet on the repair. The damage was fairly minor but just enough to bend the fender into the wheel when shocks are compressed. Anyway it is getting repainted any way so I warmed it then rolled with a baseball bat. I cracked the paint but didn't care cause it was just to stop the rubbing. I just wanted to get a feel for it for when I get my buddies roller. Lesson learned: HOT PAINT= GOOD OUTCOME!!
