I was told if i roll my fenders id have to repaint??? I dont think this is true is it? Should be a simple thing to do right?

 

From previous cars i had rolled vw's if your a good roller you shouldnt have a problem but there were cases of people chipping paint i personaly wouldnt on a P-car

 

Ill have to see but i think ill have to because im putting spacers on my car and its slammed. I think it might rub but not to sure.

 

Just watch out b4 u rollem and test it out. you can crack/chip the paint on a bump if ur saying its slammed.risky business bro

 

Yea i was thinking this too but im pretty picky where i drive. Most times is all maped out for me before i roll out. The side skirts are sitting super low now. Going to get 3M clear tape put on when the bra is put on. Here is a pic of the stance now.. then spacers will pop it out 14mm. I think i should be ok.

 

Dammmmm thats slammed its a good thing your not from ny. Your deff gona be rubbing with the spacers most defff...raise it a inch

 

i know trust me... its a good thing im in FL cause roads every wherer else would break my car. Once i put them on ill have to see what i do to as far as lifting a lil bit. Im sure i can find a guy to roll them and do a good job.

 

Ya true gota see a pic when you throw on the spacers good luck

 

If you have a pro do it they use a heat gun to soften the paint just enough to insure it won't crack. They'll also have the proper tool as pictured in the link below from Tire Rack.

OP did you roll that without using a heat gun? I'll give you credit if you did so, I rolled my fenders on a M3 but definitely used a heat gun. Porsche paint can't be that good.

 

I just saw that pic on Tire Rack...
Ouch!!! People do that to their cars???!!!

OP... Good luck. And post a side view of Your "slammed" Porsche. Curious to see how low it is.

 

The problem that may occur is on the inside of the lip that you can't see. The paint is put into compression and may develop cracks. If so when moisture and or salt gets into the cracks and the zinc coating on the steel will begin to oxidize and undercut the paint. It's like a micro wedge moving along between the paint and steel. It would take some time to do any serious damage. The rate would depend on the extent of cracking and the environmental exposure.

 

Had Motor Werks in Ill. roll the fenders on my 993 and was very satisfied with results.

 

I found a guy who does a lot of supras and jap tuners. Hes uses a heat gun and will take extra time working the fenders for me. Plus throw on the spacers. Ill keep you guys posted on what happens.

 

This is the best i have of a side shot. Kinda dark.
