Hey guys, well what a day had to cover for a no show at work, had to stay late, then found that my car had been keyed when i got out to the parking lot, initially i thought the scratch had gone down to the metal, but it looks like its only down to the primer which is hard to see on a cement

so my question is has anyone had this type of situation before? if so do i have to get the panel repainted? can it be salvaged without spending an arm and a leg at a body shop?

An experienced detailer may be able to get that out with a rotary, try that route before completely repainting.

I'm fixing mine right now...
I got some touchup paint and applied it on with the included brush, then I scraped off the excess with a razorblade...I sanded off the excess with 400 grit paper...it looks like I will have to do that 2 more times to fill the scratch. I also got some 600 grit paper.

Wind took my door a week or so after i got it and threw it into my buddies car. Gots a little dent on the edge of it. Not too noticable unless you're really looking.... but still ... FML.

Yeah... $450 is a lot of 'wanted' item money. Sorry to hear man.
