Nothing is ever a 100% when you are talking about bending and shaping metal that has paint on it. But he has been successful at it.

You work at a body shop right?

Yeah - on the management end of it... :roll: I'm the honest type and will tell you while I know what it takes to do it and how long it will take -- I'm not the guy you WANT doing it. I'm a mechanical/electrical guy...


Yeah, I understand it is never 100% --- but I'd like someone who trusts themselves to do it. If I can get away without having to do paint repair I'd love it.

Todd did mine, and did an excellent job. It DID remove paint, but I expected it. Its old paint and your bending and hammering the shit out of it.

Did he actually "roll" the lip, or did he hammer it? Did he heat the metal/paint up in the area?

I bought a fender roller and used a heat gun, took my time and did it with out cracking the paint. Its not that bad if you do little bit at a time and keep the paint warm.

Good call. I forgot about Andrew. He still has it - I'll be getting with him.

no true metal fabricator would use a roller, he hand hammered it. No dolly, No heat, no anything....and the result was perfect, no waves. The guy is a master, and was done in 30 minutes. Plus, he did it from one molding to the other, the entire lip basically.

I scrapped the peeling paint, hit it with epoxy primer, then bed liner.

Did he actually "roll" the lip, or did he hammer it? Did he heat the metal/paint up in the area?

mike at Vision has done quite a few too, i know he did warren's evo last summer. he could probably do it for you if mish can't.

I cut the lip off with a body saw and used body adheasive to hold it all together. Worked great. Still looks like the day I did it.
