My car got keyed, front bumper to the back bumper

[AntMan530]

Is there anything i can do if my car got keyed? (besides to get the whole car repainted)

I was thinking touch up paint, then wet sand and polish with something? is that a possibility? I'm to broke to get a paint job, but I'd really like to patch it.


Perhaps i just want to get the doors, the quarter panel, and the fender painted. will there be color difference from the other side? im assuming years outside in the sun has faded or altered the color alittle.

Let me know what you guys think.

People still key cars?

 

First try to polish it out - use a pretty agressive rubbing compound, and follow up with a nice coat of wax. If that doesn't work, try painting and wet sanding.

Yes, painting you might see a color difference depending on the year and color of the car. Based on your concern, it probably would be a little different.

However, a little color difference done by a professional will be almost un-noticable compared to you trying to use touchup paint and sanding.

Paint then wet sand to remove the orange peel, then buff like a foold, with a good compund, then maybe a ppg clear, will have to buff the whole car after all of it, to make it fit in.

aye. the keyer genocides of the late 90s seemed to have failed.

I don;t car on my present car.


Hell, if it would divert attention from my squealing brakes and the plume of burning oil ejecting itself via my notoriously LOUD POS MUFFLER, i am all for it:beer:
