Default Fender Rolling

not sure if this is the right place to post?
but was rolling my fenders last night.

driver side rear fender turned out great.

but the passenger side rear fender kinda bad lol

it created uneven bumps and creases out the outside of the fender where visable.

how to repair?!! without breaking the bank lol

maybe paintless dent repair? or do body shops kinda do these things?

The metal there is pretty tough, I doubt paintless dent repair will be albe to pull that back out. Maybe you can get something between the rolled edge and the outer panel from inside the wheel well, and pop it back out that way. Otherwise, either leave it alone (you'll only make it worse) or take it to a pro to be repaired.

Heating it is to help prevent the paint from cracking, not to promote even rolling.

My friend got his shaved and tac welded bro for 100$... you should try and find that type of setup... It looks amazing and no problems with the finish.

your friend must have mistaken fender rolling with fender prying... I would say start at paintless dent removal. Pay them a $100 to massage the ripples and then if its still bad you'll have to bite the bullet for bodywork and paint and be out anywhere from $250-$1000

Didn't want to start a new thread so I thought I would post in the most recent fender roll thread..."tw8715" I hope you don't mind.

Anyhow, I wanted to ask if my front fenders have been rolled by the previous owner. I was cleaning my rims and noticed this right above where the fender meets the bumper:


The plastic fender lining with bolts is still intact but the metal is at an angle...I don't have another Z around to compare it to
