Got Key'd!

After a year of ownership, and constant care of the car, regular waxing and detail, watching out like crazy to keep the paint in a good to new condition, picture is a witness of what a mirror finish it had.Some sick a$$ key'd the car like crazy. There is not one panel that survived the sicko.The whole car has to be repainted and got quoted 2200 $ and 15 business days of work

. I really don't understand people like that. I feel really bad about it. Members be cautious about were you put your cars, hope it doesn't happen to you.
Ill post some pictures after the repaint. Fingers crossed it would turn out well. Any Advice for the repaint would be appreciated.

that sucks but $2200 to have the car fixed? id really question that shop. the paint alone will run you more than that if your painting the whole car.

Edited to add: OP's Location says "Jordan" Perhaps this isnt even in the USA?

Like others have said thats way too cheap, I would def have a bunch of ?'s to ask before I let that bodyshop respray my car. Sounds like a price quote from a "bodyshop" that doesnt even have a paint booth.

well it does say $2200 and 15 business days of work. lets just say they charge $80/hr, 15 business days is 120 hours x $80/hr = $9600 + $2200 = $11800
