I like the Baseball bat method. It still may crack the paint though. I would do the drop first and see if you still need to roll the fenders. You may be OK.

If the paint is priority - rent the tool. There is an on-line site that will mail it to you & you return it.

If not - just be patient with the bat - many rolls - a little at a time. Warm the paint if possible.

Baseball bat? I kinda did the back with a crescent wrench and a hammer, but I didn't get it 100% flat. I want to try to do a pretty clean job on the front...

I used a very large deadblow hammer But yeah, it did chip some of the paint a little.

You also want to heat up the paint so it doesn't crack also. I had luck in the past with the roller that hooks to the rotor and gradually rolls it out. If you have a small torch, what I did was heated it from the inside just enough. As a matter of fact, I think it was in the directions for the eastwood roller, It's snowing out and I'm not looking for the book now.
