if its done too quick, it puts hairline cracks in the paint on the outside of the arch and will rust over time.
be sure to seal behind them thoroughly aswell because the factory underseal gets all split when its done.

JUST TWAT THEM!
just bought a scooby, and someone who had it before has done this to the rear arches... it stll rubbed on the tyres, so now i have bought new wheels, and am left with 2 fucked arches where the paint has come off. must have been done recently as there is no rust yet, and ive had her 4 weeks.

think they 125quid
they mint, i got one, they addictive, suddenly having arches 2inch wider than they were earlier is fun, lol.
barely a day goes by when i think "hmm, maybe i should make my arches a bit wider"

Arch rolling started with using a Wooden baseball bat.
Jack up car, fit bat under arch, lower jack GENTLY until the arch traps the bat against the tyre, spin wheel SLOWLY (no NOT under power, by hand) whilst applying heat and lowering the jack (takes 2 people).
Repeat until happy.
Book in body shop to have all the creases removed and paint patched up because you didn't do it slowly and with enough heat on.

I fancy giving it a go on my car, it will get used on an SX I did a bit of work on too and maybe a couple of sapphires so will get plenty of use. at Ł144 I would invest in one for when I get a new pair of wings I think.
