if you'r lucky a good body man should be able to repair it by touching it up then flatting it back and just laquering the area again.

Feel for you buddy hope you get it sorted,1 of the sub contractors on my job parked his car on a public car park to day and its Ԛ£12 for the day.
There is a tower cran on the building site next to ours,it was swinging over and a steel rod fell some how and went right throw his bonnet hows that for luck but it was a good job nobody was killed.
Plus it was only a Honda :D

I hate the gits that do this, I just dont understand why.

jelousy is quoted as one reason but im jelous of lots or people who have nice cars but dont go around keying their cars.

Depends on how deep the scratch is to wether they can touch it up or not...if its just the laquer then it should be fine,if its gone through to metal then sadly it will take more work to put right..

As someone stated above,you could get the panels sprayed again only on that side but again this depends on the rest of your paintwork,if yer paint work isnt that bad then it would look ok but obvioulsy if yer colour is faded etc then you can imagine the problems with having only 1 side resprayed..

What about Chips Away or one of the other touch up companies? Friend's just used them & they got a perfect match on the colour.

Benefit is it can be done at your home or work. Think prices are from Ԛ£90 but it's cheaper than getting 3 or 4 whole panels sprayed.

If you find who dunnit I'll help you re-educate them.

Mate of mine had a really bad scratch on his car, prtty deep... got something from Halfords for Ԛ£20... sort of touch up kit... he followed the intructions to the letter and you now can't see that there was ever a scratch there... may be worth a try...

i feel for you fella, only a couple of weeks some git keyed my car down the passenger door and wing. its not one scratch but several. therefore i think its the whole panel i think that will need spraying. i was totall fckud off.

if scratch isnt too bad try touchup. if it dont work then you will have to respray the panels
