How does everyone go about rolling fenders
I seriously want to know how everyone rolls and pulls their fenders. I know you can take it to a shop but that can be costly? anyone do it themselves ? Lmk about it if you did I'm very curious on the topic.

The "proper" method is getting a fender roller (buy or some places rent). You carefully use a heat gun to heat up the area to prevent the paint from cracking, but not so ht to burn it. Then slowly roll flatter and flatter. Probably 20-30 minutes per corner.
Others heat it up and roll with a baseball bat. I've seen heating it up, jacking up the car, putting a phone book in the gap and lowering the car which would also pull the fender out a little.

My son and I bought a cheap wooden bat and a $15 heat gun from harbor freight and jacked the car up and slowly rolled it. There are alot of videos on youtube you can check out. The only problem we had was on the drivers front side the fender moved a little and we had to readjust so the door would open and close. If I were going to do it again I would probably put something in the door crack to keep this from happening again.
