Your car is beautiful, I hate scumbags that vandalize and do shiet like that
If you really want them to repaint the whole car though... and you have a spare key...
Haha, you free tonight? Feel like making a quick trip to Boston for me?!
My concern right now is when they do repaint, how well it will blend. The car is 9+ years and although the car and paint have always been taken care of, you'll definatly be able to see where it was painted.
Are you sure those are the only places they keyed? (hint hint)
I'm pretty upset about the paint but it can be fixed (Although never to what it was before). I'm more pissed about the coward who did it. Honestly, I dont know anyone at the gym so its not like I've pissed someone off. My g/f is actually the one who saw it first, being that its on the pass. side, and the minute she said my name and I saw her face, I knew EXACTLY what it was. My heart dropped to my feet...
I'm sure Ill find some other "key" marks tomorrow when I look it over again...

I agree and I'm really hoping I find a body shop who agrees with us. I know insurance will tell me that a $5k respray isnt going to happen on a car worth $12k-$13k. Luckily, my father has some friends in th industry so I'll go see them on Wednesday. Hopefully they help me out...
If you could stomach doing it, you could scratch a couple other panels, so they have to do the whole thing! To be honest, I could never bring myself to doing it!
That sucks Kev... best of luck with whatever you decide. However, a GOOD body shop will be able to blend almost perfectly and you won't be able to tell without a paint meter... The problem is finding a GOOD body shop...
The more I think about it - the more I am getting pissed.
Kevin - You are the most laid back guy on here and don't deserve this.
Thanks Don! Hope you and Andrew are doing alright!
In the end, it will be fixed, CORRECTLY!

Thanks Boob. I'm searching the local forums for good body shops. Research will be key....
Johnny V, I know you come to Boston/New England frequently. Any body shops you wana recommend?
Kevin - there is an awsome body shop near Boston. Can't remember the name right now. I'll ask around if you want me too.
Yeah let me know! I'm going to bring it to a couple places.

****ing A dude, I'm so sorry to see this. Good luck with everything and if I was in your shoes I'd have a price on their head.
Josh, I JUST bought that PC 7424xp/menzerna kit 2 days ago and of course this happens! I'm just glad I didnt use the polisher yet! Now I'll get to use it on new paint!
I would murder someone in the eyes with my keys if I saw them do that to ANY car. Sorry to hear about your car dude, hope you get it fixed right and insurance takes care of ya!
