Piece of **** keyed my car

So I woke up today to see a deep scratch on my 3 day old G35 on the driveway. Some mother ****er keyed 12inches long deep into the paint on the passenger side quarter panel.

Does anyone know how I could fix this, I'm not too keen on repainting the entire quarter panel.

....^....You could try this touch up but with a deep scratch the results may not perfect. Having your G keyed is everyone's nightmare and in front of your house is even worse cause it's probably someone in your neighborhood. Time to move into the garage and lock er up! Sorry bout this.... seriously makes me sick!

Looks like there is also a dent? It's weird how there is a light reflection surrounding the long scratch.

Don't you have insurance? Insurance should fix it.

****ing *******s, they are just jealous because they work at BK for a living and you're driving a nice ride.

My Type R was keyed like 2-3 times over its lifetime, that's why it still looks brand new lol

I have a friend working at BK since HS. 7 years later, he's a regional manager and making over 100k.. Not bad for a guy with no college degree.

im feeling the pain right now too, someone slammed their car door in the parking lot and it ripped into the side mouldings and made a NASTY dent that travels from the top of the door to the bottom...AND i parked all the way at the back where there was no cars...its about $350 Can. to fix and instead of replacing the side mouldings im getting the mouldings taken off for the clean look...blessing in disguise i guess

You know, it's one thing to do it by accident, but to have the intent to do that, it just pisses me off. My car has done nothing, she's innocent.

I was thinking about going through insurance but the deductible is $1,000 ... there would be no point.... even if it were over $1,000 it'll be very negligible.

I was thinking about having look at it for a spot repair... can those be done if the guy is skilled enough? to paint the entire panel i'm looking at a nice 800

karma better pick up the phone on this one is all i gotta say...
