Since rolling fenders is pretty much same for any car. You can use pipes baseball bats w.e. but the safest most even way to do it?

IF you are skilled you can do this with out having to repaint but requires a heatgun (NOT a torch) and applying heat to the paint softens it enough to not crack. BUT rolling to far can crack it to! Hope this helps!

A shop will also do it for you, but it is usually never perfect so people aren't happy with it. I wanted to roll my fenders to comfortably fit 19s" but I decided the ripples and cracked paint wasn't worth it.
