rolling the fender lip

Yes, i have searched for this, and it seems to all be the same. What i'm looking for is just some advice from someone that has done this on there own w/o cracking the paint. My lip has already knocked out on the front drivers side.

the cheap way - Buy a cheap wooden baseball bat, and pry it up against the lip, using the different dimeters as you have to

the right way - goto a body shop and have them do it. I believe some of the specialized ones use a tool ( that remarkably looks like the shaft of the baseball bat described in the first method...

Reoccuring theme: try to get your hands on a pro lip tool, do it slowly, and use a heat gun to soften the paint
