fender rollers are overrated
i used a wooden baseball bat (not kidding) just givvem a wack
using a fender roller or not your paint will chip unless it is a VERY hot day out so beware youll have to get them repainted or as i did just spray an extra clear coat.

nope i bought it used it then sold it....

thats what i advise to do. its cheaper than renting them if ya just spend the extra cash to buy a used one, use it and then slap it back up on ebay.... and pretty much get your money back.
i would definatly use the fender roller tool.... lets face it THEIRS SO MUCH THAT CAN GO WRONG by using a bassball bat.LOL

just look on ebay for a used fender roller. theirs almost always one up their for sale.. just be sure ya dont get one of those RENTAL scams!
those people are crazy! the tool cost like 200bucks or something like that and they want a 90dollar rental fee PLUS A SEPERATE 300dollar DEPOSITE FEE... total crap!
