It's best to have a pro do the rolling before painting with a wire in the roll. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Dave H.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><hr id="zwchr" class=""><div style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;" class="" data-mce-style="font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><b class="">From: </b>"Todd Redmond" <<a href="mailto:alfetta95@optonline.net" class="" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:alfetta95@optonline.net">alfetta95@optonline.net</a>><br class=""><b class="">To: </b><a href="mailto:fmccjr@aol.com" class="" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:fmccjr@aol.com">fmccjr@aol.com</a><br class=""><b class="">Cc: </b>fot@autox.team.net<br class=""><b class="">Sent: </b>Wednesday, June 10, 2015 5:43:19 AM<br class=""><b class="">Subject: </b>Re: [Fot] Wheels<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>I'm interested in hearing the responses. <br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>I'm sure it's been said, but did you roll the fenders?<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>Todd Redmond<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>Sent from my iPad<br class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>> On Jun 9, 2015, at 6:16 PM, fmccjr@aol.com wrote:<br class="">> <br class="">> Hi, a<br class="">> Is there anyone out there who is racing a Tr3 (with steel fenders) who might share information about what wheels you are using?
