    hold a block on the outside of the arch and knock the lip round witha a hammer, but be ready to seal the arches afterwards

    ive heard that you can make a arch rolling tool using a jack and a skateboard wheel. i havent seen it myself but you bolt it to the hub, wind the jack out and roll it around the arch, winding the jack out a little more each time. dont know whether it works well or not though....

    You need to warm the paint up so it doesnt crack.
