This thing costs so much for its simple function that I think I'll be forced to roll the lips on every single car I have, and my fiance's car, just so I can feel I got my money's worth out of it. hahaha
Hell, if the lug pattern fits I'll do the dually too

What ever happened to buyin' the beer & pizza? I loan tools out all the time....maybe I should have been renting them. I'm usually just happy enough to be able to help my buddies out to be concerned about the $$.

The tool is overpriced for what it does, thats why. If it were a good value, everyone would buy one. I would have gladly paid someone to borrow theirs, as shown in the original post here.
Another idea would be to roll my fenders and just sell it on ebay. Then everyone would have to buy it on their own

with everyone that need to do it I think we should get a group buy going. Heck you could just give me one for free.

If you heat the paint before yo roll them then the pait won't chip. even if you don't I hear it doesn't crack it much.

no, you just heat up the paint to around 180F range and roll slowly back and forth. I just bought a heat gun at Home Depot for $30.
Hopefully my roller shows up tomorrow!

You would only cut the paint if you don't heat it. But cutting the paint doesn't mean it wouldn't crack it just provents it from cracking as far as it would if you didn't cut it
