Chimp Choker Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 About 18 month now. None however I had a little corrosion prior to the roll knowing that it was going to be resprayed at some point. I was very happy with the results and wouldn't hesitate at doing it again if I needed to Www.bobsbmw.co.uk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrishawker86 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I bought an arch roller, cut the sealer out and waxoyled mid roll then again once flat. Then sold my roller for £5 less than I paid for it Www.bobsbmw.co.uk What did you use to get the sealant out mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ragamuffin Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I can't get the link up on here. Google "How to make wide fender for cheap" Its on YouTube, and a few years old. I can remember when I first saw it, and was impressed to a degree with how it actually worked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry_p Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Do not just cut the lips off! The inner and outer arch are spot welded together around the lip, keeping the whole rear end tied together. The usual way is to get all the old sealant out from above the lip and then use several passes with an arch roller to gradually turn the lip all the way over and flat against the pannels. You can then keep going and pull the small vertical section of the arch out to a slight angle. You'll almost certainly damage the paint in the process, and will want to reseal it all anyway so brush in plenty of seam sealer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G Don Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 For cutting out the sealant, Stanley knife can take long. What's did is got a round wire wheel that attaches onto a drill and used that to rip out all the sealant all the way to the metal. Takes around 10-15 mins per arch. Just careful on the flying sealant as it can get hot and wire wheel will break up and be a bit of a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
