fender rolling
Should have rolled before you painted. Did you ask the body shop if they could do it? I think Metro has a fender roller they bought for the club, but I'm not sure about that. Lots of folks who have tired it have cracked the apint, so be careful.
Maybe if you tell us where you live, some folks can give you advice.

Just did mine last week with an Eastwood roller. The rears are very easy to do, just use a lot of heat and go slow. I was able to roll my rears flat and pull out about 5mm without any paint cracking or ripples, they came out perfect. Fronts are trickier (if you're doing those), the way the metal tabs are create weak points in the metal on the corners of them and is very easy to cause high spots if you're pulling them at all. I only cracked the paint on one front fender and it's because I jammed the fender liner into it by accident and cracked it, wasn't even the roller. I rolled the fronts flat and pulled about 5mm as well.
I just rented the roller from Tommy at Go Tuning.

S~Factor in Metro can do it for you.

I recommend trimming(cutting the lip) of the fender as opposed to rolling it. Trimming the fender = zero risk of messing up your fender and your paint.
It takes about half hour to do both fenders. PM me for the price... it's LESS than half as what those other big shops charge you for. I'm located in Valley Stream, NY 11580.
