Hammer and dolly and gently dress the arch lip until it's completely flat or until theres the required clearance :)

I have a Frost arch roller, had it about 6 yrs... only way to do it really unless your really good with a hammer n dolly.

I rent it out locally but think your abit far away.

Hammer and dolly would be my choice. Nova hatch arches are not round, so a roller would not work that well IMO. If you use a hammer and dolly, heat the paint (gently!!) to help minimise cracking. Or pay someone to do it!!

Grinding the lip off is a sure fire way to be replacing your aches in the not to distant future. It also makes it alot weaker.

roller works perfect on hatch arches, it's just not as easy.
