I used to have my fenders (rear) rolled...but that always cracked my paint and caused problems. I found a place that will cut my fenders perfectly, then chemically seal it...if you want to know more...pm me.

^^ Yup what the other Dylan said. If you roll and pull properly, with a roller, you shouldn't have any cracks in your paint. I pulled and rolled all four corners and I'm golden.
Any advice on what to do if your paint is chipping? I had mine done and they used a cut & cinch method instead of using a roller. Now it's chipping. What can I do to seal it and prevent rust?

Mine are cut perfect and chemically sealed...no rust there for me and nothing to hide...
eh, it was just a suggestion, do what you guys want and what best works for you.
Just giving him an option rather than everyone chiming in, agreeing on something, just because the majority do it.

heat gun to soften the paint, slowly roll it. it doesnt always work as bending paint like that tends to crack it. i have a 1400F degree heat gun, and it helps to minimize the cracking.

Brent, you're welcome to take a look at my rears which have a pull of roughly 15mm and no cracking whatsoever. I've done all of my cars along with a bunch of others, I think I know what I'm doing also

I never said you didn't know what you were doing...it was you guys that insinuated and assumed that Shaun of Munkywurks didn't know what he was doing...

The only way to get a pull is to roll the inner piece flat, then pull the metal outwards. We never said he didn't know what he was doing, only after the fact did you bring up that it was done at his shop.
I don't think you quite grasp the concept of how a pulled fender is quite done. But it's all good.

Since yours is already done...I'm not sure what chemical the body shop applied to the metal after cutting my last car, but it was like a tarish looking, very chemically smelling goop.
Are you in Hawaii? If so, pm me and I will tell you where to go, who to see...and for a small fee, maybe he may apply it to your car...not sure. If not, get some touch up paint on there asap before rust starts...I'm no paint or corrosion expert by any means, and I don't pretend to be...so do your research...it's just what I would do...
