Car got keyed

[duckey]

Hey guys,

My mate's DC2 got keyed tonight when he parked it down the street from my place. Usually he'd park it in our driveway or at least infront of the house but we have heaps of other cars here tonight. My street is pretty damn quiet and dark too. It seems as though its been keyed right through the clear cloat. Front bar, a door and quarter panel. Each ranging from 30 - 50cm in length. I feel really bad for him.

What should be done? Should we just do it privately or via insurance. He's insured but only third party with Just Cars (fire and theft as well). Excess is I believe $1000 and $350 for if stolen or fire damaged.


Regards,

Duck

I thought third party doesnt cover your own car? but bad luck mate, I got keyed too... fixed mine privately.

You have to get it done privately.

Third party doesn't cover your car in this circumstance.

yeah it doesn't bro. my car got smashed a couple of months ago, pretty much all the windows except the passenger sides and left a massive dent in my rear quarter panel ****in ****s

Must be fixed privately. If you think it's gone through the clear coat then just try a cut and polish in case you surprise yourself (I once did). You have nothing to lose trying that.

If you're right re: clear coat then get it resprayed/blended.

yer third party doesnt cover damage to your own car, u could prob find a cheap spraypainter if u need one pm me

Aslong as they hit u of course and they have insurance lol

if you can run your fingernail down the keyed line then get a respray.
if not then you may be able to cut and polish to remove the keyed lines
