I was rolling my fenders yesterday with a fender roller, i used a heat gun to ensure paint wont crack i also took my sweet ass time to make sure that i dont damage anything else (cracking, pulling metal) i was very careful and gentle when rolling it, i got my wheel to seat flush with 50 mm spacers it looks good but i guess when rolling the fenders i put too much stress on the rear quarter panels and they dented in, i would like to know if anybody has gotten this problem and what were your techniques that you have used to fix this.

Thats it?
Pull out the back interior and pop it out with your hand
Or
Youtube the hair dryer and duster dent remover

the other side is the worst!! since that was the side i started with LOL looks like i hit a poll and it looks like shit!! i cant just pop it out from the inside since there is sheet of metal that forms the wheel gap?? (forgot the name)
the hair dryer trick doesn't work i have a heat gun and what that does is make the paint and metal soft and it dents even deeper when you try to work with it LOL

I think you could barely get to it from the inside of the car, but not sure. oh well

It's in the crush section, be best to have a body guy take care of it. That section will dent easily if something like your hand would press it back out. The section will have to be shrunk again.
That happened to me. I ended up grinding the paint down to metal and using a stud welder to pull it out. I then had to use body filler over it and paint. It's almost impossible to get to the dent with your hands unless you have really long hands. I was able to reach it and push it out when the metal was heated with a heat gun, but it would dent back in as soon as I released any pressure. Even when I was pushing it, it wasn't 100% straight. Here is what mine looked like, and how I fixed it:

Remove interior trim to gain access to the inside of the body panel.
Deflate a basket ball. (Smaller size, mabye youth league?)
Insert basketball into quarter panel.
pump up basketball slowly until the dent pops out.
The same trick is used at body shops but only with a specific tool. (Rubber bag, and hand pump)

if you dont mind me adding my 2cents in, your repair in its current state is going to look like crap once you prime and paint over it. one you have body filler over some of the paint which is very bad, two your car has many layers of paint and should be stripped , three it looks like you have a few layers of bodyfiller and some high spots in the metal around the wheel well. prime and paint it and you will see what im telling you, it will look like pancakes under your paint where you sanded the layers out. each layer needs to be sanded min 1/4 out. anyway im a bodyman/painter so im just trying to help you out
