HDAV Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) My Girlfriends car has been keyed from the filler cap to the indicator straight down the door wing the lot! how much to get it sorted? and how to stop it happening again? Neighbours car was also done but not as badly seems odd they picked out 2 cars both black 50 feet apart and keyed! Why do people do this its not like its a flash car just something quite nice she works hard to pay for. We were out at a friends birthday and didnt notice it till today.... Any point ringing the police? Edited July 11, 2011 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Hi mate, no point calling the old bill, how would they help? sorry about your misfortune is it a metallic, pearl finish or just plain black? it can be painted back in again, although it'll show in the sunlight, much easier if it's just through the laquer as this can be built up and buffed out.

bruno22rf Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Most mobile paint chip repair companies should give you a quote-Chips Away-Car Medic-check your local directory or ask a local garage who they use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosd Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Chips away won't do scratches that long! Black is an easy colour to match for any decent body shop so no need to worry there, I can't see where you are based from my phone but if you are anywhere near north London I can recommend a few garages as I was in the trade for a number of years. I doubt you will need any blending in of adjacent panels either so you will just need the scratched panels repaired and painted. Feel free to send me a pm if I can help, Cos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted July 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thanks COSD found the place a guy i knew in trade recommended £200 to sort Not happy and reported it to the police as if they dont know about it happening they cant do something/anything about it....
