Where in GA are you? I had mine rolled by Butler, but they didn't go far enough. They said to bring it back in, but they recently messed up my brother's G so bad rolling his fenders that he has to get his quarter panels repainted. So I don't trust them at this point. Unfortunately, no other shops want to roll fenders.

I think it would crack regardless. i was just scared it would damage the clear coat, from what i heard it doesnt take much heat to damage te clear coat. I dont care about the inside of the fender because you cant see it. but the outside...
