Rolling arches without cracking the paint?

Car should be lowered soon, and I'm looking into rolling the bits just inside the arches that stick out. Ideally, I want it done without having to get the arches resprayed. I know it's possible.

See here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXjL2G_QpjQ&feature=player_embedded

To be honest, I don't have the balls to attempt what's being done in the video . Is it something a body shop would be able to do? Or would they more than likely tell me that the arches would need a respray after it's been done?

everytime ive done it its cracked a little!

the paint needs to be heated to make the paint flexable, just be careful not to burn the paint

can't see it being done without cracks, bodyshop i reckon.

heat it up as much as possible without burning it and take it slowly... you should be fine!

we do it in my work i wreckon the lads mite be able to get it so far with out it crackin not 100% tho if u cant find any1 close to u that does it ill give u our number

Where abouts is your work Luke? Can you ask them for me to see if they'd be able to do it? Something is better than nothing.

I want to get my front end resprayed at some point anyway, possibly in the winter or next year, so a proper job could be done then if needed. I just don't want cracked paint due to the fact I can't be sure when I'll get round to getting everything sprayed.

mochdre mate the name of the place is called crash repair centre i will ask them tomorrow how far they will be able to go before the paint cracks, but if u pop down they will be able to give u a quote ill also get the number for u tomorrow

Yeh, if you could let me know what they say that'd be great. I only need the 2 front ones doing. My new wheels should arrive next week, so I need it done asap . Are you open on Saturdays?

well the lads said it all depends on weather the car had filler and if it has been painted before they also said to be safe u may as well save up aand get the front end painted at the same time the best thing to do is ring up or pop in to see us and get a quote, yeh we r in saturdays usually till around 2ish our number is 01492 545763 the place is called crash repair centre the guy u need to talk to is called neil he'll be able to sort u something out

Thanks for letting me know! . It's never had filler and has never been painted (as far as I know anyway!)

To be honest, I don't have funnds to get paint now as I've spent on coilies, wheels & tyres, adjustable rear tie arms, sump guard and new brake pads all round. I just need the arches rolling before I get the coilovers on, that's the problem.

Are you far from 'Good Motoring' on the industrial estate?

if u carry on going threw mochdre past the turn off for good motoring as if your going towards colwyn bay you'll go threw 2 sets of traffic lite and then there will be a turning on your left with a sign post for the recycling yard turn down there and go straight on till you get to the security barried and just go round the factory to the back and we r ther lol sounds confusing but it aint lol
