Rolling wheel arches ?

[Mach]

I need to get some recommendations on which workshop can do proper and neat rolling of wheel arches. I heard that there is a proper tool to use that uses the wheel bolts for centering, does any local workshop do it this way ? Last time I had it done the mechanic just used a hammer and dolly and knock knock knock....very terok job cos damaged the paintwork as well.

 

Thanks!

Depends on how much needs to be done.

 

Mild rolling, a few hours and less than $100. Major rolling more time and more money...

 

Lye does a great job.

I did mine at Lye Design - done using the "traditional" mallet method, without fancy fender rolling machine like the one shown above.

 

Was told that my fender cannot be rolled using the machine (was told some other cars can), and warned beforehand that with the mallet method the paint may chip and so on - scared me to death. All these advices came from the apprentice, not Lye himself. Turned out my paint was more resilient than I expected and the fenders overly protruding from the bumperline after the 1st round, but later re-malleted to a more exceptable level.

 

All in all, took 30 mins and $60.
