Default keyed!!!

ive had my truck for 3 weeks........
after 3 days some jerk opened his door into the side of my truck and left a golfball sized dent.

so today I picked up my K&N intake for my truck and installed it. (love it!!!!!!)
30 mins later my 35's rip the front bumper off a parked camery. (the lady is super pissed!!)
4 hours later some ******* keyed my front quarter panel, drivers door, and rear door. the scratch is down to white across the whole cab. (im super duper pissed!!!)

what can I do to fix this scratch, any ideas?

Body shop. A product like Scratch-X will help, but that one's too deep to fix with consumer products. Man, someone dumped some bad karma on ya.

Seems like the scratch is to the metal. This is not good. You basically have 2 choices. You can either take it to a body shop and have them sand and repaint the panels (this could get a little expensive) or you can buy some touch up paint for now to get you buy. Advanced Autobody sells small touch up paint the size of marker. One side pulls out and it is a brush like nail polish, the other side actually has a ball point roller like a pen. This works great for straight line scratches and fills in pretty good as well. This is what I have for all the door dings and rocks that hit my truck. You can't even tell it was used.

Yes they do...usually it falls under your comprehensive coverage and that deductible would apply. I would go and have a estimate done at a body shop and have them forward it to your insurance agent for review (call them ahead of time though.)

DISCLAIMER: No, I'm not an insurance agent, but I am related to several and that's all I hear about. Plus I've had this happen to me before, hence the reason I now carry comp with only a $100 deductible.
