HELP CAR KEYED

[318racer]

hi guys

as u may or may not know, i drive a 99 ti with a beautiful avus blue ( in my opinion the best ti color) paintjob. Literally, flawless, not one scratch on it EVER.Today at school someone keyed it about 2 feet long not very deep. IS there anyway to fix this? Can it buff out, and i use touch up paint?

Unfortunately no. Repairing it is beyond most peoples DIY capabilities and it would most likely make it worse. Take it to a professional, but first find out who did it and beat their ass. Make any enemies lately?

I'm glad I didn't have a car throughout high school. And if you're in college and this happened, people need to ****in grow up.

Do what i did. Beat the living sh!t out of the guy who did it. There's no proof most likely so your going to end up having to pay the bill. Just paint the whole car. Im not even driving my car yet and im already paranoid of my car getting keyed. I just got it painted, i paid $1,400.

man.....not cool when people keyed car....here in michigan $1,500 to $2,000 just for the whole repaint job...not cheap but will have it repaint when i have the $$$$..Felt good after i beat the sh!t out of those idiots but hurt to see my car keyed, even tho it's on the top at least not on the side. Even worst if that idiots did on the side..

where can you get a car painted for 1,500 in michigan? Every shop I've went to (not maaco or the like) quoted me 3,000 and over. Even if I did a good deal of the prep work myself...

people are scum.. man, that sux! I would have been so pissed. where is the sctratch? could you just have that section repainted vs. the whole car?? even if you took it to the most expensive place around, I'm sure they could re-do & match the paint on that 2 foot section for less than a grand.

anyway, try and find out who did it & throw a brick through his winshield (or face)... I would.

The scratch is on the door. Do you guys think insurance will pay for it. Damn a GRand! i dont have that kinda money right now, i dont even have a job.

Take a picture of the scratch. It can be fixed to be unnoticeable unless you know where it is, but it takes a good deal of patience and a few hours.
