Morzy2k5 Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 That's what I said in my post buddy,I am not paying £100 for 2 arches to be rolled when I can do it my self.and arch rollers are £50-£60 to buy brand new and keep forever! I ideally want to borrow one for 2-3hours max to do my front arch lips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Could buy the tool and then sell after wards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobUK Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You might be lucky but I doubt its the kind of tool someone will have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Have you ever rolled arches before? Especially supra front arches? There is a reason why we charge those sums to do it. Our training, our equipment costs, fuel costs, public liability insurance and business insurance. I have an arch roller, but by the time postage is paid for etc it wouldn't really be worth it.

j_jza80 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'll attempt most jobs on a Supra, but bodywork like that is left to the professionals! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morzy2k5 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I have done quite a few on previous cars...skyline,mx5,civic,legqcy gtb. I agree that's why you pay the price for a trained person to do it,but how are you supposed to learn if you pay people to do it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you source the arch roller from to do these previous cars, can't you use the same source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morzy2k5 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Share Posted February 12, 2015 I would love to,but my friends that use it on there drift cars have chewed the roller up in crusty old nissan arches that are full of rust haha.so the roller has bits and chunks gouged into the plastic rolling head.dont really want to use that and destroy my wings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
