yeah the baseball bat trick works fine but not 100% gauranteed to get them perfect, 5.0 magazine did a write up for the Dec 2006 issue i got last night on a tool that bolts to your hubs or axles and you can crank the roller to the desired lenght and roll by hand, with the tool centered on the hub it makes it perfect round, just take your time

+1 and you can rent those tools for about $75, or buy one for about $250 and then re-sell it.

I didnt read the whole link I posted, but when you do it, make sure you either grab the woman's hairdryer, or if you need an excuse to buy a new tool, grab a heatgun. heat the paint up right before/while you're rolling. Believe it or not it will reduce chipping and cracking.
