My car has been keyed :( !!!!!!!!

[rwaterman]

It was done i believe on friday night. The scratch is extremely noticable on the boot then goes round the side down past the petrol cap and it seems they went back over it. Im hoping the ones down the side i might be able to T-cut and colour magic thoughs as they are not as bad as the boot. On the boot the scratch is about as long as 2 hands, fingers together, and seems quite deep its all white. Do you reckon that scratch could just be re painted or would i need to get the whole boot resprayed?? really pissed off but there aint alot i can do...............

wankas why do people do stuff like that its just pisses me rite off

after some knobber breaking my lexus clusters an driving off i was pissed but even though they drove away it prob wasnt intentional to drive into my car

id even understand if a window was smashed to rob a stereo cos theyve got summat out of it but keying cars whats the fukin point

not an expert on painting, but i assume that the boot will need a complete respray if the scratch is too deep

chips away -noooooo , ive used them before when i worked at a dealers, there ok for bumper corners but on panels they have to blow the new paint into the old (to blend it in), they use a small heater to dry the paint after, usually outside unless you have a garage - meanwhile the new paints getting dust, etc floating into it, then they laquer over it.......

the paint may look ok at first but after a few months it then looks very dull, take it to a bodyshop where they have a spray booth, might cost £50 more but its worth it
