Rolling it with a bat is the cheap-skate way... Just get it done professionally, typically the pain cracks and then flakes if you do it yourself. Just get it done RIGHT

It flakes and cracks because people don't use a heat gun when rolling.

eastwoodco.com sells a roller for $250...you can always charge your buddies to borrow it after you use it...or offer fender rolling services locally for a price.

Roller/heatgun combo. Thats your best bet. If not, just get it professionally rolled, but if you plan to do this you might as well get it professionally flared as well. This way, YOU KNOW, your definitely doing it write, and in no way can be wrong. You can roll on some agressive tires with no pros, if not, some mickey thompsons! haha
