Default Brand new is350 keyed today by some *******...

Pretty sure some ******* at the doctors office decided to key my car today. It's all across the right side of the car front and back passenger doors on my black is350. I'll post a picture later...should I try to fix it on my own or just use my insurance? I'm trying to get a look at some cameras they have...apparently they can't pick up much detail as far as license plate numbers or faces on camera but I think I might have the guys license plate.

Did you park in any way that would invite this kind of action? For example, taking up two spots, or parking too close to a spot/car? Just wondering why someone would do this.

Sorry this happened to you, OP. It's really sad how awful some people are. Before I had my GS painted, it was hit and run twice while parked. The damage wasn't horrible. It ended up being scrapes on the factory bumper covers and I ended up doing a full aero kit on the car, but it was still maddening.

sinuspain....I am so sorry to hear about your situation. It is so unfortunate to see people working so hard to buy stuff that makes them feel good and see ignorant ****** doing this sort of thing.

I better NEVER catch someone doing anything like this on my vehicle because they'll have a bad run in!

OP....I doubt that this can be buffed out and will likely need some repair from a professional shop

That's terrible.

You will need it professionally fixed. There is probably a grand or more in paint needed there. The entire doors will need redone and blended.

Depending on your deductible, you may want to go thru insurance and file it under vandalism.

That really sucks. Somebody keyed my 2014 corolla too, I was so pissed. Just out of curiosity, were you double parked?
