Rolled fenders, etc.

I thought I would post some prices for those of you who are thinking about rolling your fenders.

I had my fenders rolled by Raintree Auto Body in Scottsdale, AZ. They also repainted the grey moldings white to match the rest of the car, and installed and painted a rear spoiler with 3rd brake light.

Rolled fenders: $293.85 (the paint cracked and it ended up costing more) 6 hours @ $40 to repaint, they sandblasted, etc. approximately $600 total

Repaint side moldings: 12.5 hours @ $40 (they took them off the car and reinstalled) I expressed concern to them about the hours, I'm in the insurance business and do my own wrenching on some of my toys, just not this one. They did not budge on the hours.

Paint, repair and install rear spoiler: 4 hours @ $40

Grand Total including materials(paint, primer), tax, etc.: $1,674.57

They did an excellent job, no orange peel, lifetime warranty on the paint blah, blah, blah

How far did you have the fender rolled?
What size tires are you running on and how's the fit?

Better yet, give us pics. :p

Those idiots. The paint is to be heated prior to rolling anyway! Tirerack lends out a fender roller for free with instruction video and a damn heat gun to heat the damn paint. You put a deposit and when you return the roller you get the deposit refunded.

Chad Oliver, did your 19 inch Carlsson wheels come with spacers in the mounting hardware? What tire size you running?

Post some pics Please!
