Message have one and they do cars for $50, they do the labor. Reason they do this has to do with what Mouser said, 250 bucks for a one time use tool seems silly. So they do a car here and there for $50 and the tool has now paid for itself. There are many people in need of this and are afraid to try it themselves.

The trick I have seen them use however is using a heat gun. They heat the fender metal before rolling it and while rolling it. They havent cracked paint yet doing this. It is common knowledge that heat allows the metal to be much more pliable. You just dont want to make it too hot.

If money isnt an issue, go purchase a good heat gun with variable temps and the Eastwood roller. Overall, easy DIY with these tools, just take it slow.
