Repairing a keying/scratching
Well it was bound to happen with all of the idiots in this city, but I came out of the movies last night only to find this horrendous 1" scratch on the front of my baby. It looks like someone took a key/rock to it.
I've heard bad stories about touch-up paint, but I have to get this repaired as soon as possible. I see it everytime I look at the car. It just makes me furious.
Any recommendations for getting it repaired?

You could try www.langka.com products. I've fixed rock chips just fine; however, it doesn't work too well on dark metallics...

doesnt look bad at all. a good touch up and wet sanding will work but if youve never done that before (which i assume you havent) id take it to a professional. its not worth getting the whole hood repainted (or if the new paint doesnt match perfectly itll look ugly and youll have t get the WHOLE car repainted to match).

Sorry this happend no wonder you were out to burn me when I posted that Korean Missile launch... The paint you can get from the dealer can help, but this sounds like a it- will- cost- money job!
Had my car to Cayukus for fireworks - rather worried to leave it as there was a crowd of thrashers there but got back car untouched and the kids just wanted to ask questions about it.... I love the people here, and even the fire department in San Miguel sells fireworks!

touch up paint will make it look even worst because it turns it into a chunk of paint if you dont wetsand it. and if you dont know how to wet sand it properly you pretty much screwed yourself big time.
