you can actually purchase a fender roller...its supposed to roll your fender w/o damaging the paint.

here is a link to the eastwood fender roller tool
Eastwood Fender Roller Tool

honestly, it might be cheaper to buy the tool than take it to a bodyshop.

I did mine by pounding softly with a rubber hammer.
That tool looks nice but I don't see how it will prevent the paint from not cracking without heating it up.

I rolled the rear fenders on my RL using the eastwood roller and a heat gun. Super easy as the honda quarter is very thin.
