So i rolled my fenders with a rolling pin today, but the paint cracked in a few spots and one area actually flaked off. I don't really mind because it's under the fender and not visable but i'm worried about it rusting or growing. Is there any way i can stop it from doing that? I was thinking some touch up paint. The good news is, my wheels no longer rub!

Use some touch up paint or if you don't have any use clear nail polish, this will help prevent rusting.

If it is out of the way, then use touch up paint. This is always a problem when you try to roll the fender as you are stretching the metal and thus the paint.

alright thanks guys. i'm looking for some touch up paint with the paint code 3L3 which is ruby pearl for the ES and some camrys i think. where can i find some? i checked the local toyota dealer and they don't have it in stock. should i try the lexus dealer? can i find them online?

One thing you could do to prevent the cracking is to use a heat gun on the paint before you roll the fender. I think you could use a hair dryer too... it might take longer.

got a problem now. none of the toyota or lexus dealers around me have the color of touch up paint i need and they can't ship because it's a hazardous material. is there anything i could do to stop it from rusting in the meantime?

Like I said before, use nail polish in the meantime.
