ive got a roller you can rent off me for the weekend?

Subject: Re: arch rolling Thu Jul 01 2010, 16:32

how hard is it to do it yourself? and does it crack the paint? how much for the weekend to rent?

Subject: Re: arch rolling Thu Jul 01 2010, 16:44

i think its 1 of them cases where it really depends on the person doin it. if you take the time and dont over do it and heat the paint/arch up right you can get good results.

Its £45 for the weekend, deposit is needed which will be returned when the roller is Thumbs up

i might just pay someone to do it saves me the hassle of ruining it and having s**t arches. lol cheers anyway might still take you up on the offer depending on how much it is to get it done and when they can do it.

exactly what i was thinking all you can do to the Mk4 rear arch's is flair them out

well i thought i would try my luck and see if anyone could do it. if i remember rightly chris you also wanted yours done on the mv developments thread.

cheers nelds that would be good if you could ask them just my wheels stick out to much and theres no way i can keep my archs just need them rolled out to fit my merc wheels.

The front's are more the problem on the Mk4 chassis as the arch's have a lip. The rears are pretty much a flush arch all ready. Sounds like you need them flaring out which is slightly different to rolling.

o right ok. where can i get them flared then? cheers

Subject: Re: arch rolling Fri Jul 02 2010, 17:37

Before you go getting the any work done on the arch's what wheels have you got and what are the spacer/pcd adapter sizes?

Flaring is a lot more likely crack your paint than rolling unfortunately. From what I've heard its very likely it will need a skim of filler afterwards then a respray of the arches..
