That really sucks, I'll never understand what makes someone do that. Same thing with eggs, etc. Sorry to hear it.

That being said, its never happened to me. But then again, who would want to key a primer black 914? I doubt I would even be able to tell if it was keyed, lol.

I did a bit of rubbing compound and polishing compound on it. It is much less noticeable now. I didn't want to get too aggressive and go through the clear coat.

I usually park the car in regular parking spaces, never using 2 spaces. The only places I go to are Pep Boys/Autozone/etc, Homie Depot, Target, Wegman's grocery. Never take it to the mall.

I was only joking about the buffing part. It has been keyed thru the base coat. You will need to wet sand and repaint that section.

Can't figure out peoples mentality for this dis-respect.
A sale went bad this week where a guy and his wife were stabbed for their '68 Camaro on Craigslist.
Now a couple of good people dead, and a stolen Camaro.

I've done this before with scratches, rubs, keyed lines, and other abrasions. If it's deep, the best that I've done is soften up the scratch so it's not too noticeable.

This one looks a lot better already. I'll probably polish compound it again, glaze, then wax.

The paint on this car is original and the front looks like it's been sandblasted. The car came from Texas and it got its fair share of road debris kicked up on it. Both headlights had holes in them when I purchased the car.

Overall the paint is good and I have no plans to repaint at this time.

I just don't understand people. If you did that to their car they would be pissed, but it is ok for them to do it to yours. Reminds me of a girl at work back in the mid 90s. She just purchased a new corvette. Stopped at the mall on her way home from work. Came out a few hours later to find "NICE CAR" keyed in the hood. WTF (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

No, if you did that to their car, they wouldn't care...because it's probably leased. Not their car, so who gives a shit. 54% of cars are leased now, so only a minority "give a shit" about what they've actually "bought". Sad.

Wow, really, 54%? I did not know that statistic. Does underline the point that we have become a "disposable" society, even with our cars. Very sad. There will be nothing worth collecting from the cars of today.

If you go to your local PCA site and ask the concours people...there is a local scratch and dent person that can work wonders for that scratch.
