I rolled my arches in the paddock at a sprint after driving up with my my wide tyres that were slightly rubbing on the motorway - full travel it would have been dangerous so had to do it or sprint on crappy road tyres. Fellow competitors lent me a rubber mallet and a bit of wood, 10 mins later arches rolled!

Do the fronts first - easier to replace if you get it Pete Tong

good advice thank you , we also have a heat gun to warm the paint ;)

C. J. 20-10-2012 05:49 PM

Don't forget to put silicone up behind arch before starting ;)

will do ;) do you need to get the paint quite hot to stop it cracking ?

C. J. 20-10-2012 08:57 PM

Warm not hot or it will blister

scoobie_paul 20-10-2012 09:16 PM

This is very important I seem to recall, having read the arch-enemy site in the past

Thank you for all the advise guys, we just finished rolling
The arches on both our cars, was pretty easy with a roller.
No more rubbing through the corners now , woo hoo! :)

Got any pics?

i will get my brother to take some and post them on . would also say that if any body needs their arches rolled, they should try and borrow a roller and attempt it themselves as i dont think its worth paying £140 to get someone else to do it. a bit of patience and the right tool = good results :)

scoobie_paul 21-10-2012 01:47 PM

just took a couple of snaps hopefully you can see the results !
unfortunately there were a few small cracks in the paint before we started which was a shame but not much we could do about it :)
