Default Alternatives to fender rolling

What are other alternatives? I am afraid my paint will crack.

i'm assuming any autobody/paint shop can do this? How much does this typically cost?

You can get it cut instead of roll. But make sure you take it to a performance shop with experience. Most autobody/paint shops do NOT know how to do this.

if you heat the paint gently you can roll fenders without cracking the paint but again knowledgable shops are the way to go always. cutting is the only option other than rolling.

Cutting > Rolling. Doesn't matter how good a shop can roll, the paint will crack overtime.

I have new wheels and tires on order and coilovers are going to be put on soon. Hopefully whenever they get in I will have pics for everyone. By the way VIP auto salon is doing all the work so I have all the fender issues and what not figured out by them.
