I posted a thread about tire fitment yesterday and some of you guys talked about rolling the fender. How hard is this to do? What is the best method for doing this?

Buy or rent and Eastwood fender roller and a heat gun. The process is pretty simple but you need to take your time. I have done all 4 of my cars. The last one I did took me about 4 hours start to finish. I got in a bit of a hurry, didn't heat the paint enough and cracked it in several places under the rear fender lip. The car has been repainted so that could have contributed to the cracking.

Go on youtube and type it in theres alot of videos showing different ways. The eastwood tool is about the cleanest way and can be rented for $50 for like 3 days, try searching on ebay for the tool rental if thats the route you go.

its not rocket science. pretty easy esp with the tool. but then both cars I did were getting painted after so chipping the paint didnt matter and didnt take any paint chipping precautions either time. I dont think the paint would be 100% strength afterwards even if you did do it right.
