    Ok so i emerged from my house this morning to find that some little scumbag keyed my passenger side door and front wing. One continuous scratch. Is there anyway of fixing this mark with out respraying the whole side?

    Can't post a pic. it feels about 1-2mm deep. I don't think it too deep but its very unsightly just this white scratch along the passenger side. T-cutt?
    Wher can I get it and how much should it cost?

    Thanks

    You should be able to feel it with your fingernail... the primer is usually a white chalky textured paint...

    Absolute scumbags bandy! What type of car was it?
    Happened to me one morning, someone keyed my car and slashed my tyres when I was living on a main road in Dublin... Your car never quite feels the same when it happens.

    Why would someone want to do that?!

    T-cut will be in any car shop. Its a polish. It;ll only work if its the clear coat on top of the paint that is scratched. It the paint itself is scratched it wont do anything. Worth a go anyway. Put some on a cloth and give it a good hard rub, then buff it off with a soft cloth.

    If it doesnt work the only way to get it perfect is to get the panel resprayed (3-400 quid depending on the size and which problem). There are places that will just repair the scratch. Wont be perfect but a hell of a lot cheaper.
