this is not true, I have seen many pulled fenders without paint problems including my carMatt [exz3owner said:@ Wed Jun 28, 2006 1:12 am]pulling fenders almost always requires repainting them, fyi. If you are that dedicated, blended flares isn't much further away...
You have to use a torch and fender roller and keep the fenders hot and take your time with it. This will cause the paint to stretch and not crack. If you go for a extreme pull (cant do this on a miata anyway) like 20mm then you start running into discoloration issues
