Hiring a Guard Roller...

Postby green_comet » Mon Jun 04, 2007 4:01 pm

Hi guys,

I would just like to know if anyone knows of a place in Melbourne where i would be able to hire a guard roller..

My guards need some rolling/flaring, and having the propper rolling tool will give a much better result.

If i cant find a place to hire one, ill have to try make one.. :?

cheers
Ryan

I had my guards rolled by Donnellans-The Tyre Men at Box Hill. They did a fantastic job with no paint cracking/damage and no rippling of the panel work. Off memory I paid $250 in total ($100 for the front and $150 for the rear). The trick to not cracking the paint seems to be how well they use a heat gun to soften the paint whilst rolling the guard.
