Cheap way? (I dont recommend this, this was back in the IM BROKE HIGHSCHOOL KID method)

- A baseball bat and your friend. You tube rolling fender with bat. Put the bat in front and have your friend put the car in reverse and drive the bat into the fender well. GO SLOW!!!!. Then repeat driving forward. Back and forth until your done.



Professional way?

This tool.



Either way you choose use a heatgun to warm up the paint so it does not crack or peel. Make sure you dont COOK ur paint OFF! and go slowly back and forth applying even pressure. Good luck bro. Its easy tho.

If your scared, I payed a shop once 60bucks to do all my fenders with the tool.

Make sure you remove the black fender strip and the plastic tabs. Use a heat gun and take your time.

I have never seen the bat method. It is hilarious. And actually seems like it will really work.

Don't know what kind of roll you were doing but I've never done any damage to fenders with any rolling method. Most people just seem to rush it and taking your time is the most important step. I'm not saying I'm a pro but from my experience any way it's been done can work well with time.
