    Do you have to lose the plastic inner fender if you do that (roll the fender out)?

    Yes and also use a heat gun to soften the paint. It will crack when you try to mold the fender. There are a few videos on you tube on how to do the job I recommend watching them before starting. Cause if you screw up there is no undo and tell fender will look wavy.
