Not sure why this happens for no reason but the world is a f*cked up place... Parked car not bothering anyone ... just a fit of jealousy by someone!

Anyways, is there any tips to address this besides obvious getting the whole side painted ?

It depends on how deep the scratch is, if not too deep may be able to hide it with a good polish job. Btw this should not be posted in classifieds

You should post this in the General discussion forum. You would probably get more responses. Anyway, Go through your insurance if it is bad enough...

If you can feel the scratch with your fingernail, sorry man. You will need paint. A good body shop with be able to sand the clear off, feather in new paint, and reclear. :thumbsdown:

If it is down to the metal, ouch.... they will have to totally repaint everything

Sorry to hear that man. My car recently got keyed as well. I didnt even notice until morning cuz it happened at night during school. Bright side is a fresh paint job.

besides a new paint job, you can always have some upgrade to the exterior done if you know the shop well
