Anyone keen to use a guard roller?

Post by sam726 »

Hi guys,
I was thinking about buying a guard rolling machine and was just wanting to know whether any of the guys on here would be keen to use it for like $20, the rollers a bit more than what im wanting to spend at the moment but i thought if some guys chucked in 20 bucks and could use it for their cars could be a bit easier on my wallet haha, certainly a lot cheaper than getting it done professionally and a lot better than getting out the baseball bat haha. If anyone would be keen for $20 (thats so u can use it for all 4 corners) then just reply to this or pm me, if i can get like 5 people or something who want to use it for $20 i can afford to buy it so yeh, just pm me or something.

Thanks guys,
Sam

those fender rollers aren't that great. I get better results with a 2 -> 2.5 -> 3" mild steel pipe :)

Reason being is that you can quickly adjust the pipe for more angle especially towards the top of the guard. The sides don't usually need as much as the top and it is alot more time consuming to do it using the reforming tool :)

pends on what roller you get/use phil

the one i have you can adjust the pitch of the roller on three ways, and get some good flare going on,

i will admit tho you do get triesome of going back and forth and adjusting the levers all the time, but if done right you wont fuck the paint on the lip of the guards

I brought one with the same idea of charging ppl to use it to offset the cost.
ended up not feeling like i could charge mates and then roller being shagged before i even got to use it.
And with no replacement roller being available from supplier.

The roller I tried using was adjustable too but could not get quite the right angle, I used a heat gun so the paint didn't crack and a soft hammer.....No damage at all on the rears and you would never know but just make sure you heat it well so the paint becomes pliable but be careful. The fronts were history well before.
