basically its the same as every other thing you paint, first clean, then sand, then prime, paint, then clear coat....as for any rusty or cracked pieces, if any, replace or fill

Rolling your fenders is what makes it stick outwards at the brim?

You can't really see when a fenders just been rolled from looking at it. When someone pulls the fender thats what makes it stick out a bit.
