Fender Rolling
I'll pitch in too, sooner or later I'd need them rolled anyways. Have you guys seen the DIY roller thing that you can make from a VW jack. Looks pretty easy, but I can't weld.
I'm sure one of you guys have access to scrap or a cnc machine or something... probably cost plenty less than 250....

** WARNING**
IF YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING YOU WILL FVCK YOUR **** UP.
Step 1: READ WARNING
You have to jack up your car and put it on a jackstand to work at it, unless you want to just remove your wheel.
Step 2: Find an old baseball bat and some fat friends
Jack the car up and place the bat between the tire and fender, then lower the jack completely so that the bat is now stuck between the tire and fender. Make sure you place the bat at either the front or rear of the rear fender.
Open your trunk and get a few of your bigger buddies to sit on the trunk ledge so that the car sinks and puts even more pressure on the bat between the tire and fender.
Step 3: Roll it!
Find a trustworthy friend and have him hold the bat and press down on it, getting it as vertical as possible. Turn on your car and keep the door or window open so you can communicate with your trusty friend. If you placed the bat at the front of the fender, but your car in reverse and slowly roll it backwards while your trusty friend pressed the bat and moves with it as it rolls along the fender backwards. Do the same if you placed the bat at the rear of the fender, except with the car in 1st gear or Drive if you have a step.
Repeat this about 3 or 4 times. Jack up your car and remove the bat. Your fender should now be rolled!
TIP: With a heat Gun warm up the fender to help prevent Paint damage.

With a rubber mallet you will run the risk of making your quarter panel, wavy and you should have a dolly on the out side wrapped in some serious tape to prevent scratching the tape
