I would honestly take it into a custom shop as the paint will likely crack if done wrong from my experience. Should not cost a ton either, so no worries.

Absolutely,

Let a reputable shop take the liability if the paint cracks around the fender wall during the roll process.

Good point. This is typically true if the drop is not that dramatic.
