Fender Pull/Roll Issues - Fixable without painting??

Attempting to pull my fenders today when I ran into a problem and was wondering if anybody had advice on how to salvage/fix it. Everything was looking good then I readjusted to height of the roller. There are two hard lines/creases 3/8 to 1/2 inch apart in the center of the fender lip. Using Eastwood roller, heat gun and infrared thermometer. Heating to 130-145 degrees. Was attempting to pull from the hard fender line and below out 2-4 mm. Still need a few more mm to tuck and was thinking the creases might blend out if I continue to pull but don't want to make them worse. Any advice is appreciated. Pics below.

Did you try using the roller right under the indent? Why didn't you just get camber arms and run more camber? On that type of fender I would have tryed using the telephone book roll technique. What car is it?

Didn't for fear of making it worse.

Don't want to run more than 2-2.5 degrees. Only camber adjustment is from stock eccentric nut on LCA. No aftermarket arms available.
