yeah its just a case of rolling the lip, the trick is to do it slowly with a panel hammer, the same as you would do when fitting a new door skin, If you have got that far with your apprenticeship??
If you go at it hard with a heavy hammer it will ripple the outer skin just as it does when doing door skins.
yeah to true i have done a few door skins i would have to use a dolly as well or just the hammer ?

yeah a dolly on the outer skin helps, just dont try and get it to roll to quick.. nice and steady is the key or you will end up needing to repair the guards ;-)
Make sure you take the wheel off when doing it to, you can get a much better angle with your hammer.
ok will do i should charge my mate 20 bucks a gaurd hehe :P well cheers for the info my bed is calling my name for i am well tired hahaah catcha p.s my car should hopefully be painted within a week or 2 soo ill post some pics up in a new thread when it is finished
