Arch Rolling
 

Anyone know anyone with a roller who would be able to roll my rear arches without cracking the paintwork.

I'm fed up with worrying whether my tyres will or won't rub as they are fag paper close. So thought I would get them rolled then I can stop worrying and start enjoying.

I've got a roller in the garage if you want to borrow

Cheers James, I may take you up on that.
I think Si has one too but I'm not sure about the heating the paintwork to prevent cracking bit. Hence I would prefer using someone that has done it before.

ive got a contact in eastbourne at a garage who will do it for £20 a side if that helps?

Cheers Tim, interested in that if he doesn't crack the paint.
Has he done yours ??

no he was a back up if my wheels rubbed.... they don't luckily so he is an unknown quantity. Was recommended by the paint guy I passed to you.

While you can try to heat paint to roll arches, there is no guarantee it won't split, I did my golf and split due to the tabs that hold the arch liner on fused a bit of an issue. If the paint has any weaknesses already then it will crack.

Just try it and if does split then it will just need sorting then. Even the pro's get you to sign disclaimer.

I may have to borrow a roller then and cross my fingers......

Wonder if tango Wayne could help/advise? May be worth a pm.

My Evo cracked the paint, did another Evo8 last month and paint was fine with no cracks

Stuary has the equipment and can do it if you like Scott : )

Sounds like a plan........I won't let him test drive it though eh !!!!
