Acutech in South SF has the fender rolling machine that attaches to the wheel hub. I'm sure they can roll a fender or two.

just know if the paint is not heated up and the rolling is rushed the paint will chip.
the rolling needs to be done in degree steps dont just fold it all the way the first roll it will chip the paint bad.
the tool is $300 and then get a heatgun to warm the paint and your in business.
i think the tire rack still rents the tool also.
Even if the paint is heated it can still chip. This is all about patience and going VERY SLOWLY... Another excellent thing to do is to take a razor and score the paint in a line just inside the fender lip. This way, if the paint does flake off - it won't creep up onto the fender, and all you have to do is touch it up (this may involve buying more than just a touch up can due to the amount of bare metal).

+1 to LIC. I can't say they've rolled my fenders but whenever I have went there, they have been careful and done good work (and put up with my thinking aloud about what I should upgrade next). Personally I'd rather pay more and have something done right the first time around.

first of all, i'm not racist...if you knew who I worked for i'm sure you would know I have nothing against filipinos...

secondly I was just stating a fact

ohh and I rather not post what I have against GB as that would probably not be too good for your rep, but lets just say it has something to do with work that was done on my car in the past. maybe it has something to do with people that used to work with you in the past and don't anymore, but I dunno, i'm not willing to take the chance of going to your shop again.

again..I don't see why you are bringing race into it, you do realize I work for Joe and he is filipino right?
