[QUOTE=01Z28M6;12460614]Be sure to cut the paint along the bend line. I lost a good deal of paint when rolling the lip but it was all on the inside of the bend line. Here's my experience using a borrowed fender roller. It was an easy thing to spray paint from a can where the paint flaked away Notice the fine line where I cut the paint with a razor.

I didnt cut the paint and mine are absolutely perfect...as long as you use the heat gun and take your time nothing will flake off. mine look completely factory

the trick is the heat gun and not going over board with the lip angle.
you only need 45 degrees anymore is really not necessary and will only
cause more stress on the paint to crack at the bend line.

I needed every millimeter of space and that is why I folded mine against the inside. Bending up to 45 degrees simply wouldn't create enough clearance in my situation.
