should have had them roll it for you, then fix it up bro, im not sure if the bondo might crack? cus i have heard/read bondo sucks...

anyways i would wait quite a while or take it back to them and have them do it, maybe they have tips or tricks on it

ya i totally forgot about getting my fenders rolled before i were to get it painted.
then i remembered, and i asked if i could take my car to get my fenders rolled(bc they said they couldnt do it) and they wanted me to pay for all the work upfront and then bring my car back..but i didnt feel comfortable doing that.
this is gay. i want my fenders rolled.

The paint needs 30 days to cure, then it should be hard enough. The bondo will not bend like the metal, I will break and probably fall off. Still, fact is that it needs to be done so I say wait the 30 days and get after it.

If the bondo cracks it's going to crack the paint right along with it.

Youll be repairing everything the bondo was attached to including the paint. So basically that fender will get new paint and a new bondo job. Back to square one pretty much.

Where was the dent at? I used my Eastwood roller on mine and I dont see how it would affect it unless the bondo is right on the edge.

I blackened the part where i think he used bondo, and it was done on the drivers side(not that it matters).

You should be good on rolling them. To be totally safe, you dont really have to go all the way forward if you dont want to..... just up to the left edge of your shaded block and that will be enough. As long as the bondo isnt on the very very bottom edge right next to where it 90's for the fender lip, you'll be fine. If done properly the only pressure will be on the inner most portion of the fender lip and not any of the body panel. FYI, I rolled mine pretty much even with the body lines on both sides of the fenderwell.
