Exclamation Damage from rolling fenders?

Has anyone tried to roll their own fenders? What is the best way to DIY? I want to get this done but I dont want the paint to crack where the fender bends. Has anyone tried and damaged their fender? Thanks for any help.

I NEED to do it but havent. Easy to crack paint if you dont heat it properly. Do a search on here and you'll get plenty of hits.

I did a search and the only thing that I found was to use a wooden bat to do the rolling. But how much should you heat it? Do you need to roll the whole length of the fender? How much of the fender should you heat?

i saw a post about 3-4 weeks ago where some dude tried to roll his own and screwed them up pretty good. pay the money and get it done right if you want it done. just my 2 cents.

I did it myself with a bat, and it didn't come out too pretty. I'm gonna take it to my body shop guy to get it fixed.

Did any paint crack or chip? Why does it look bad?
