Just figured i would give it a shot becasue they only gotta get rolled a little bit. Although the little bit that i need is crucial.

Fender Roller
I was just browsing through some old posts and saw that, at one time, there was a fender roller going around that a guy had and was renting it out. Just had to pay for shipping and throw in some courtesy cash i think it was? Anyone know anything about this? I really have to roll my fenders while I have a chance.

there are lots of places where you can rent from for about $50, just need to give them a deposit.

Well first off, its a two person job if you want to do it right. One doing the rolling, slowly and fluidly and the other with a heat gun evenly warming the fender. You run a huge risk of cracking the paint when rolling without someone heating as you go. I'd wait till the summer rolls around and you might be able to get away on a hot hot day with it while the sun heats it. Its a pain to "do it right". Not so much the other way around.

Yeah, its better than rubbing the paint off with your tires anyhow 
. Just be sure to tend to that paint job very quickly afterwards if you do crack the paint (which you probably will). As a small crack in the paint will eventually turn into a rust prone area and its downhill from there...
BTW I doubt the heated garage will help anything but make it more comfortable for you while you roll
. In a 90 degree summer sun a cars exterior can easily reach over 100 degrees. Either way shoot some pics and report back!
