Peter, I was talking about larger rolling/stretching of the fender without stretching the metal. As big of a stretch as you are looking at/ thinking about wont affect this in any noticeable fashion.


Also I can go with any base material you want to paint with, The shop will just color match based on pigment mix #'s. Single stage Urethane is what I recommend going with and is what I went with on my car. Dont buy the actual paint till we speak again, I want to make sure the pricing is right and you buy the right reducer and such.

PS Feel free to text me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Had to google that, but it looks awesome!!

Looks like a much more consistent way to roll the fender as opposed to the 'baseball bat' method.

What do you think Andrew?

Thats probably a really good idea, With no weight in the back and wheels that are not what he wants to put on ( however we could probably space them out with washers) It will be a little difficult to use a baseball bat for rolling the fenders.

Hey guys,

Be careful with those rollers, as sometimes the polyurethane on them has a tendency to not push uniformly, causing waves and flat spots. We just went through this when my Father was lowering his Ferrari. I suppose if your using it on a stripped car it's cool, but on one that is already sprayed or semi-prepped, I would be concerned.

And yeah, the bat method is a bit more 'old school' and can certainly be a little difficult.

I used it on a local 914. No problems. I just used my heat gun to warm up his paint and it was good to go. You can change the tension at any point of the fender to fine tune it. If you guys want to use it, figure out how to get it from San Ramon to Modesto.

I will probably go help andrew this weekend. I am coming from the peninsula and should be no problem for me to pick it up because it is only about 10 minutes off of 580. I will PM you and keep you posted

Got 1/2 hour of work in tonight and stripped the hood with 80 grit. There are two rock chips that need to be taken care of but the rest of the hood is nice and shouldnt take much work.

Loads of paint... I think the hood took a rattle can in itself.

OH, and the Pass side headlight doesnt have a turn knob thing so I couldnt raise and remove the headlight. I probably have a spare knob in the back, but I didnt have time to look for it (and it was dark.. I dont like spiders..)

Looks great andrew! I like how you are saving the right-rear fender for last (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... hopefully it wont be that bad when you start on it.

also, did you notice the turned-up corner on the hood?

It should be passenger side all the way towards the windshield. I had a screwdriver laying on the car when i opened the front trunk one time and it bent up a little. SHould be just a little tapping to get it back down.

Hadnt gotten to the edges yet (Except the front edge) so no..
If its just bent up a little it shouldnt be a big deal. I'll fix it tonight with more sanding on the edges of the trunk. However I have to either raise the trunk up and set it down it on 1' blocks or remove the trunk in order to get to the edges without sanding the fenders.

Im anticipating the worst for the RR, I think we have to go to bare metal for most of the fender. I believe there will be some time spent on this... But, its not impossible!

Fixed that corner, didnt get a good pic of it so I didnt post it. Finished up sanding the hood down, Probably have to go over it with 180 prior to primer. I put sanding blocks on the corners and tied the hood down so I could get the edges. Also got some sanding done on the fender. Looks pretty good but will need a little bit of filler.

Just a little over an hour and a half tonight.
