Hello all,
Posted this over at Detailing 101 but was hoping to get some help here... I woke up Sunday morning after staying overnight at a friend's house to find the two passenger side door panels keyed. This is my car that I have been upkeeping religiously with Meguiar's products and this was devastating! I have read some posts already regarding how to fix this, or what might work, and I was wondering if anyone might help me with the following questions:
- I currently have a paint touchup bottle from the factory that I was thinking about using, but if I use touchup paint will I need to do wet sanding to make it even?
- I had thought about using factory base coat and clear coat from automotivetouchup.com [No commercial links are allowed on MOL; Thanks; 2hotford] to repair a bumper scratch before, and since I have a spray gun (fine), I was wondering if I could use the spray method to fill in the paint into the scratches instead of the touchup brush method to achieve a smoother finish?
- I have every Meguiar's product, including rotary and orbital buffer which I am now proficient using... I was thinking of using rotary with product to "blend in" the sprayed paint. Will this work?
If anyone has a better solution or any solution I am all ears... The scratches are not long enough (I don't think) for the insurance company to pay for it (my deductable will be higher most likely), and I am leary about sending my car out to be refinished. Please help! Thanks all...

had my car keyed twice, and boy it was not fun.
