If they are not deep you can try and buff them out with some light compound. But usually if it is keyed there isn't anything you can do short of having a body shop fix it. Some people just don't have respect for personal property anymore.

The scratch on the door handle look deeper, but I couldn't get handle repainted for cheap and try to buff out the scratch on the door? Sorry to see this happen to an 8.

Sorry to here about the key. I only had mine 4 days and it got keyed they started at the rear door and went all the way back just short of the tail light and went so deep in some places you could see the metal.
I had to have the rear door and rear quarter panel re-painted.

Stupid curse of the Silver strikes again...
I would go to a few different body shops and see what they quote you. Good luck.

After seeing the picture now, the scratch above the door handle might buff out, granted this is just by looking at the picture, can't really see how deep it is. I also think they sell the handle "shell" maybe already painted at the dealership, if that is the case you would just buy one of those and pop it on. Not sure how it installs, but I think the outside is just a shell piece.

You always want to try buffing it out first, right? If it doesn't buff out to your satisfaction then you can waste time getting quotes that are way too much money to fix one scratch.
More importantly - what Beitch? Did you exchange harsh words with some lady in the parking lot when you arrived at the vet? Did you see an arch-enemy in the area when you arrived? Do you know who did it and know they keyed it?
There's more than one way to get a scuff in a parking lot. Folks can drag rivits, zippers or other parts of their clothing across paint when they are careless about how they step or lean. Other people will use your car to stop their shopping car so they can load their car. Being a vet I can imagine a large dog putting paws (and claws) all over someone's nice car becuase the owner doesn't make them stay down (though this doesn't look like that sort of damage).
C'mon spill SillyGrl - do you know who did it and why?

from the looks of it that appears to be a surface scratch, it probably wouldn't hurt to just try buffing it out very carefully with an actual orbital buffer, I'm almost certain as shallow as it looks it will probably come right out with a little cautious elbow grease

Take it to a detail shop and they should be able to polish it out.
I've polished out worse. You just have to have the right tool... Porter Cable ...

I don't buy Kool-Aid
I say kick her ***! My car just got keyed to by the persons son that parks right next to my spot where I live. I'm going to beat his *** and go to jail. I will enjoy every moment of it and make it last a life time.
