i wouldnt do the baseball bat/hammer way unless you live where its always warm, if you live around salt/snow and dont roll them properly youre just going to get cracks in the fender and water/debris/salt gets in and youre gonna get crazy rust
thats very true .. i live in new england (New Hampshire) it snows like a bastard here few months and itll be snowing my plan is to spray my wheel wells with undercoating before winter
First time I did mine I used a rubber mallet, BUT with the paint warmed up. It rolled them but not entirely flat.
2nd time I rented a roller for 50.00 bux warmed the paint and got them completely flat.

Ive been deating on just shaving mine right off with a grinder. leaving just about 1/8" to keep its shape.
anyone do this ?

I bought the Eastwood Fender Roller for when I do mine....not cheap (but I did pay a heck of a lot less than the price you see now)

Cheap way to roll fenders. I picked up this tool too through an auction for $20 shipped NIB! Use this with a good heat gun

Check out their videos on youtube on their main website
You could always "rent" too

When I painted my car over a few weeks I installed new fenders to replace the heavily rusted OEMs. I used a rubber mallet to bend them in. These fenders weren't painted yet so I just left them in the sun to make the bending easier.

Wats usually tha goin rate if u let a shop do it??... I've gotta get mine done soon as my BC's are on...
$50 per fender in a shop
$25 per fender with car enthusiasts like ourselves, does a great job too.

heat gun and a bat or a pole of some sort. I did this a few times and eventually had them rolled professionally
