call the touch up guys they usually come to u and they do a great job =)

sis bf had his car boot keyed from one side of the taillight all the way to the other. it was a rolla by the way. also he had a couple other spots keyed which were also fixed by them as well.

but depends on how deep the scratch is

Agreed........there are people which are just simply sh*theads and do it coz they can unfortunately.

Look in the phone book, dependant on the colour, you might get away with using the touch up guys. They are good, obviously depending on who you use that is.

i know how you feel, i got keyed not long ago, unfortunately i got keyed on both sides- doors n panels and the bonnet! pretty bad but it worked out in my favour cos i got enough money out of the insurance to pay for a full respray! and all i had to pay was $400 excess.
so my advise..... key the rest of your car n get a full spray job

how long did it take to fix ur car?....i got my car keyed agez ago and yet to have it fixed...im planning to go wid insurance aswell..they quoted me 1.6k for excess i was like wtf!!!! lol...so ideally i just call up and say i got keyed 2 days ago and they'll process it and we choose a panel beater ??..

My driver's door got keyed.. I still haven't realy done anything apart from put touchup paint on it... but you can still see it in the sun. Oh well.

Mine got keyed a few weeks ago too, I know how you feel.

I'm putting it through insurance and getting it all resprayed. The scratches are too deep for touch up paint and it woudn't look any good with the pearlescent paint anyway.

You've just got to hope it doesn't happen again I guess.

Yeah my ex put some nice racing stripes down my bonnet...now she's dead, jokes :P

i read a DIY somewhere her where people put blobs of touch up paint of chipped paint/keyed (assuming your down to primer), and then use a clay bar to sand it back. do you guys find this works?
