I bought this from http://www.eastwoodco.com/shopping/product/detailm ain.jsp?itemType=PRODUCT&RS=1&itemID=6159&keyword=31158
and also used a heat gun to prevent cracking of the paint. There's a diagram on that link of what it actually does. I know there is a bunch of threads on here with tips and different ways of doing it...

The Eastwood roller definitely works well. I've posted these before, but these are some pics of my F-body (the fender lips are VERY similar) before and after rolling:

biggest bit of advice would be to use a heat gun and thoroughly heat the area you're working otherwise you will crack the paint.

Yes, that's the SS. Thanks for compliments on the wheels - they are replica C5 Z06 wheels. Unfortunately they have different bore diameter and bolt circle than our GTO's so, while they may technically fit up, I wouldn't recommend using them on a GTO.
