Well, first of all you have to be really careful, because you can crack your paint doing it. They sell and rent a special tool for it (check it out online), but I think it's a waste of money. Most people say to just take a baseball bat and use that, pressing and rolling it along (it works well). However, here's a little trick: take a razerblade and make a light cut in the paint just out of view inside the fender well, all the way along it. That way if your paint does start to crack (likely) then the cut you made will terminate it so that it doesn't spread out to where you can see it. And have some touch-up paint handy.

And if you don't have to do it, don't.
