What kind of details do you need? It's not a complicated device...warm the area to be rolled to prevent paint cracking, then bit by bit roll the lip back. I'm not saying it's an easy thing for an amatuer to do without possibly cracking something, just saying the machine itself isn't complicated.

Take it to Wheel Tech in Kendall. The fender rolling machine is ghetto, and the baseball bat method is ultra ghetto, straight out from da hood yo.

the bat might be ghetto- but its pretty time tested trick- and works fine- if you want there is a pictoril tutorial on how to do it in one of the car magazines this month- maybe "modified"- or "super street"- something like that

It is Import Racer. Just picked up a copy last night. IMO, delicate work, and some potential areas to damage the car. Your choice!
