Thumbs down Fender rolling?

Anyone know a shop within the Ottawa and surrounding area that can do a professional fender roll? I know some guys can do this themselves with the fender rolling machine. If we have someone in Ottawa that can do this I am happy to rent the fender roller and pay for the job to be done.

I have a fender roller and did my own no problem but im in Toronto...

P.S. you best to leave this until summer because you have to make sure that the paint and fender is nice and warm with a heatgun otherwise the paint will crack.

I can post pictures of mine if you like!

I went further than just a roll and flared them

Im running a +49 offset up front with a 225-35-18 tires. Although my car is low I believe a roll would suffice for my set up.

dont mind the rub marks in the lip thats from my wheel rubbing before I did the roll :| You can see the paint isnt cracked and came out nicely!


I pushed my fenders out this far and did not crack the paint at all so just rolling the lip is no big deal

I don't usually head out that way haha... Did you plan on doing just the fronts or the rears too? Your offsets are pretty mild... but you definately want to at least roll the front so it doesnt catch and peel your fender like i did about 2 years ago...

Fronts only...rears don't rub and seem to be fine.
