Make sure you use a heatgun (i used the midpriced Wagner heat gun from OSH) and use LOTS of patience when heating it up, heat it til it is paint-flexible, if it bubbles, just back off, the paint will settle flat again and readhere--don't freak out, it's normal and the paint is fine when it recools. I took about 1 hour per corner of the car. Expect to take that long if you plan to do a clean job; get a friend to help and hold the gun and heat as you slowly move back and forth inch at a time; it helps a lot that way. Yes, you WILL be sweating--it SHOULD get that hot for you to work on it

about the fender rolling questions....I read up on it here. http://www.rollyourfender.com/ then I rolled mine and a friend's rear fenders. It is very easy. Just timely and it is a lot easier with two people. I rolled while he used the heat gun.
