Damn John what size you trying to stuff under there? I seen fireballs write-up and didnt read anything about rolling....hmm. Sorry I havent used the eastwood tool, last time I used a bat and hairdryer. Warm the paint from a fair distance, not letting it concentrate on any one area too long. Depending on heat output, about 12-18" should be good, and very warm to the touch will keep the paint from splintering. I worked my last one in small 6-10" runs, warm paint, roll, repeat. Good luck.

This is for my car. John's car does not 60' hard enough to squat down on the tires.
I think his best 60' is a low 1.7 off of the t-brake under 16lbs of boost.

John/Keith,
A buddy of mine, that does paintless dent removal, uses a hair dryer to heat the paint and soften it prior to pulling out large dents. He did this on our Sierra truck and it came out great. He had the hair dryer on high for about a minute on the area to be worked on, which was about 12" x 12". He said you just need to make sure the paint stays warm, at least ... otherwise if it cools down it can crack.
