ive used a baseball bat before. put it inbetween the fender and tire and just roll it around pushing out on the fender using the tire as the leverage point

just raise the car, stick the bat in the front part of the wheelhouse, in between the tire and quarter, lower the car and slowly roll the car backwards while someone holds onto the bat very tightly

Just trying to save the dude some coin, if you google baseball bat fender rolling I'm sure there are a myriad of how-to guides along with a plethora of videos. If done carefully and with a heat gun (or hair dryer) to gently heat it up, you won't even crack the paint.
Your other option is to pay just about any big body shop a minimum of, oh IDK 100 bucks and they will do it for you, most likely with a bat or floor jack handle. Or, if you really like spending money, you could even even drop 2-4 bills on your very own fender roller and use it once.

Any of the Speed shops should be able to reccommend someone with a roller. I think you should be able to rent one from another member here ... maybe Pep Boys or AutoZone in a couple of their locations.
