Got Keyed......need your help!!!!
I'm so f***ing pissed right now i can't see straight so i'm not gonna leave a long witty post right now. Bottom line is my black beauty got keyed at work on my passenger side door all the way to the back bumper. Most of it is down to the metal. I'll post pics later.
My question is.......what is involved in fixing this. Can they fix the scratches or must they do a full repaint on the affected panels?? I know i need to take it to a body shop, but it'll likely be next week before i can and this is driving me crazy. I just wanna know if i'll be filing on insurance and pay the $500 deductible or if it can be repaired cheaper out of pocket. Will it ever look the same again? I love this damn car, check my album and you'll see why, and this makes me f***ing sick. I'm the General Manager at a health club and have already offered a $300 reward to anyone, staff or member, who can tell me who did it!!! They messed with the wrong bull.
Well, any help/experience you can offer would be appreciated. Oh, and feel free to tell me it'll be ok! ha
I'm gonna go fix a Crown/Coke and play some xbox till i'm dizzy.......

I don't know how to fix it man, but I'm really sorry that happens.
It's ****ing sad that we have a "Mustang Got Keyed Crew"
If you find out who did it, rip their ****ing nuts off.

RE: Got Keyed......need your help!!!!
The scratches will be be sanded down a littlebit around the area you are getting painted, the paint gets "feathered" in and the entire panel has to be clear coated. $750-1000 By a good shop IMO and experience.
I had my left rear 1/4 panel keyed while I was sitting it, long story, and it cost me $380 (4 years ago) to get it done properly. It was about an 18" scratch down to the metal.
The bitch who did it got arrested for DUI, driving on a suspended driver license, vandalism and an outstanding warrant for DUI. And she lost her home, an RV she was driving.

RE: Got Keyed......need your help!!!!
Keying a car is one of the most cowardly things anyone can do IMO. Sorry to hear about this happening. I worry about it myself. One of the reasons I don't drive my car to work that often.
