Hey guys

I need to roll my fenders and I called 12 local shops and none of them roll fenders nor have that fender roller tool. So my question is do you know where I can rent fender roller or any closer shops that actually roll fenders? Zip code is 16803. Thank you.
Also is there any other way to roll back fenders?

Lol hmmm... well I want to do it myself too, but I'd rather rent fender roller just don't wanna mess up something with the rubber mallet, I guess if I won't find anything I'll give a try that.
Also how hot or how long should I heat up the fender? don't wanna burn the paint with heat gun...

Use proper judgement on the amount of heat to use with heatgun. Heat must be spread evenly, avoid stalling on one spot. Same principle as with separating headlights. Use common sense and you shouldn't be burning any paint off while doing this. Wooden bat is best way to do this, without actually using the proper tool.
