well i guess im a noob at rolling fenders...lets see if this is somewhat normal
So i used and eastwood fender roller to do my rear quarters, didnt crack any paint (used heatgun) and it turned out BEAUTIFUL on the INSIDE....well if i look at my car in the light the quarterpanel paint is a little wavy for about 2 inches all the way around the wheel well....not a HUGE deal but i know its there i guess from pressing to hard obvisolly. has ANYONE else done this or is it a pretty common thing and no big deal ? i mean theres nothing i can do about it anyway

when you got to be about rolling the fenders over themselves at the end, you kinda "roll" off the side of the wheel. So I do it and 3 or 4 areas of the wheel arch (like 2 areas at the top) and the front. SO you only go back and forth a little bit, but it keeps the wheel pushing the lip over easly.
Did you have the wheel pushing on the inside alot (not keeping it just on the lip) thats I I think might have happened? Can you see in the dust/dirt in the wheel well top, were the wheel was off the lip

I've rolled a set and cut a smooth slice out of another.
The one with the slice removed, that retained a portion of the 90 degree "lip", looked better and didn't get any troubles are far as waves/paint is concerned.
The rolled one got wrinkles.
