Help Rear Fender Roll

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could explain to me or show me a DIY on how to roll the rears properly.

Where can I get the tools to do this?

We offer the fender roller rental to local customers, however I guess you can rent one same as the locals, as long as the shipping charges are covered.

Let me know.

this is a lil off topic, but for those that have rolled thier fenders, did any of the paint start cracking or have any issues with it?
Thanks

if you heat up the fenders a good amount with a heat gun then the paint usually doesnt crack. but my fender paint cracked a little because i got a little impatient haha

This takes an extreme amount of time... I did my skyline, and due to the paint being old, brittle, and sun baked, it took 5 hours to get on whole side of the car done and lost a lot of paint from the lip that was folded up.

I'm paying my friend to do it for me on the evo, he said a "few hours per corner"

be VERY patient, invite a few friends over, buy lots of beer, and some food to feed them, and rotate the guys on the heat gun out, that job is tiring...
