Car Keyed

[MANinGTR]

hey guys,

my car got keyed last night by someone dunno who...

but anyway, there is a big "X" on the bonnet and some smaller scratches on the side and back...

im just wondering where i should take the car to get it fixed up before i sell it and how it will cost around.

Thanks.

state? location? buttsecks?

happened around randwick in sydney, nsw

Its hard to quote a respray job without acctually seeing the damage because the key may have left an indent in the metal and needs more work to fix. If its just a light-ish scratch on th hood your looking at $400 for a good colour matched respray... dunno about the rest

damn.... it may cost even more coz the scatch seems quite deep...

is there anything i can claim with insurance or anything? i got comprehensive...

[ctjet]

You would have to check your policy, i dont know anything about you insurance company. If not call tham up and ask them. Make them work a little for the money your paying the bastards

[MANinGTR]

yeh im with famous.... paying them like 3k a year... and they havent anything for me so far

[rgr34]

these f*&^rs goin around keying cars should be shot.... anyway my previous car was keyed didnt fix it till i got a full respray, color matching can be a prick if paint is showing its age what color is ur caR?

[MANinGTR]

it's a black r32 gtr....

im a very nice person, not much of a hater and can't think who would do this to an innocent fellow like me.

People who do these sort of things shit me.

PM me if you want to know how it can be fixed for nothing.

You might even be able to make abit on the side.

Nothing illegal....ffs....I mean you didn't scratch it or pay some one to do it.(Hoping not).

No-one is injured,you still have your car.

Cheers.

i want to sell the car as well. but then cant sell it until i fix these scratches up.

sorry to hear that man... these f*krs should be whipped in public like those kids in singapore like 10 years ago... i hate f*krs like that.. anyways... there are mobile paint repairers who specialise in chips and scratches and are usually cheaper then a respray and usualy quality work... i think some of them give free quotes so might be worth checking out... check in yellow pages and maybe google it as well... good luck...

[700HP-GTR33]

You payed the insurance...get the best job...don't pay these mobile guys to do a patch up job.

Get the real paint job...then you might want to keep it.

Hearing shit like this drives me nuts. is the current paint faided at all? cos resprays can be a **** if thats the case. id recommend u drop ur insurance policy, its hardly worth it with a 1k excess LOl! unless your doing alot of drifting or somehting.. best bet wud be to just take it to a respray joint and get it quoted.

[NicsR33]

if someone offered me a full proper respray for $1k i would take it. who knows it might be a blessing in disguise cause u might get a couple more $1000s selling it. then who'll be laughing mmwwahhhahahaha.

The paintless dent repair guys can work wonders - even on keyed paint work. Have a look at their website, and give them a call - they'll come out and give you a free quote, and tell you if its beyond their scope. But using touch up paint, and cutting and polishing, key marks can be repaired without a respray.
