dude.. how do you expect anyone to answer that?
if you at least attached picture with scratch .. someone could estimate how much would it cost.. *and/or* tell us where you live.. and so on... and in *most* of the case prise will be different due to you won't go to the same place where someone could have took that price off.. so why not just go and shoping around .. you'll get a lot more accruate estimate.. on price or any other question that you might have..

yes, thank you for your nice, friendly reply. *sarcasm*

anyways, it looks like someone keyed my car... probably 2/3 of my back driver's side door and goes over my door handle. part of it looks like someone hit my car, but the single scratch makes me think that they keyed it.

and i live in southern california, as it says below my user name.

Julie,

I've used GS27 scratch remover on my silver GS for minor scratch. They work well and you can buy it at Target, not expansive stuff. You can clean the scratched area, apply the scratch remover until the scratch is gone (assuming it's not deep), then perhaps you may want to poblish that area for the perfect finish.

If you need a more professional repair, I have a few shops located at So Cal El Monte area. Hope that helps.

well i have to bring back my car to Marco's in San Gabriel because i didn't really like the job they did on my car -- left two small gaps between my headlight and fender after they replaced both... so i'm wondering if they'll fix it for me while it's there...

Question Option

Julie - How deep is the scratch? Perhaps U could have it buffed down ( maybe with one of the Griots Machine polishes ). If not, then any bodyshop such as the one U mentioned should be able to handle it & since U'll already have the GS there, that would be better as it'll minimize downtime.
About a1exus reply - didja notice that he said "Dude'? Guess I'm just partial to your name as it's also my wife's name!! Good luck with the scratch.

thanks mean gene (and racingaristo)...

i dunno about buffing it down since i will probably just mess up my car... =T i guess i'll just bring it into marco's and see what they can do. *sigh* i swear, moving to LA gave me bad luck or something. i've had so many car problems since i came here two months ago. =(

There are just a lot of jealous loosers out in Los Angeles. Some people don't know how to respect other people's property (thanks to our "Liberal" Lawmaker here in California). I just don't understand jealous people...I mean when I see a nicely fixed up Lexus, Mercedes, BMW, even a Honda, I just admire it...I don't feel compelled to key it...

I hope Marco does a good job...if not, I know of a couple of shops that can help you out...
