CA I need to get my fenders rolled

As stated, I need to get my rear fenders rolled and the fronts pulled a little. I live in Rancho Cucamonga and I'm willing to drive a bit to get someone good to do the job. Does anyone know someone who does good work? I don't want cracked paint or crappy looking fenders.

I had one guy but he moved to San Diego before I needed the work done.

I used some orange deadblow hammers from Harbor Freight. Size large and small. Wedge the hammer between the tire and fender then leverage that lip up and in. Tap the fender lip to speed the process along.

do it yourself. i got to blow dryers and heated the fenders for 10 mins the a circular bar and put it in between my fender and tire and drove very slowly to roll the fenders then heated it again and touched it up. mine look pretty nice =p

I was about to post that.

His Email is: TonyS18T@aol.com

And he has a thread here:

I contacted him a while back, but never got around to rolling my fenders.

Good Luck!

Thanks for all the tips guys but I don't trust myself enough for it to come out well. I'll contact mickeymouse's guy over zero's just because I've seen pictures of his work.
