Rolling the Fenders

So I have searched all over the place to find someone to roll the rear fenders on my car. I finally found a shop that will do it. They said they only have one problem and that is that part of the fender is metal and part of it is plastic. If any of you have rolled your fenders did you have any trouble? Was this an issue or were you still able to do it without a problem.

The part that is plastic is where the bumpers and the sides meet up. I have not heard of anyone having problems with that part rubbing, its more so the top that rubs... Only vehicle you will find with 100% metal in the wheel well is gotta be trucks, because their bumpers most of the time, are the steel ones. You should not have a problem because ALOT of people have rolled, What kinda wheels n tires you puttin on that they need to be rolled??!!! All depends on the offset

I've heard of people rolling them using a baseball bat. It's a really, really simple process. You don't really need anything high tech. I learned about the Baseball bat option on the Mercedes forum.

Wrap some duct tape around the bat, heat the fender to help keep paint from chipping
Work slowly and carefully
