No!!!!!!!!!! Do not do it yourself that way!!! I tried this before, and if you do not take a lot of caution while doing this, you could end up paying a crap load of cash to fix it. Here is a link to purchase your own fender roller: http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/p...&keyword=31158

extreme performance quoted me $60 a corner for fender rolling im hella picky though about my car and i dont want just any hack getting in there a f**kn things up. I don't even like anyone using impacts to remove or install my wheels cus they always gun them back on then torque and they always over torque
If you think that is steep, I just talked to someone at Daland Auto Body in So. SF and he quoted $1200 - 2000!! He said, and I quote, "most of the time, when we do it, the paint gets cracked". The $1200-2000 cost includes repainting the arches. I didn't ask if I could keep the wooden spoon that he'd use to **** me in the *** with.

fender rollers are only needed for a clean pull. if you just want a roll, a hammer and a torch will do wonders.
I have been rolling fenders with a hammer and i have never had a problem with the paint cracking. not to mention... it's free.

Mostly because we have not got the time to do the job as well as it needs to be for offering it as a service.

that is kingsol's fenders that i'm rolling with the huge hammer in the picture. well...actually he did most of it.
i guess practice makes perfect...if any of you guys want to do it yourself, just like how kingsol does it, you might want to first practice on your family's old camry or something.
