When i got my car back from the thieves who wanted it more than me, they had decided to key certain areas. I was wondering, is there is any way to buff the marks out, without a complete respray? It looks like they only got as deep as the clearcoat, and not down to the paint. But I could be wrong.





I have not yet taken my car to a body shop, or detailing place yet. I figured I would ask here first.

Thanks

 

expletive man i dont think someone likes you...um anyhow, if its down the metal which it looks like it is then yah unfortunitly you do have to paint that beotch...sorry man least you got it back.

 

na dude i dont think so, body shop is the way to go

 

it looks pretty bad.....you could try buffing it out but i doubt it'll do much good, just get a respray and find a garage to park it in

 

scammers!

 

that is below the paint. you are going to have to respray it. Sorry for your bad luck man

 

looking at that makes me wanna shoot somebody

 

 

that sucks man. i feel for you. it's defenatlly past the buffing stage

 

its too deep, u gotta get it resprayed, sorry man. is there a story behind this? or just random thieves?

Thanks for the info. Now I need to finda decent place out here.

There is a story, and a big long thread in the EG/EK forum, form a few months ago.

Cliffs notes version:
-Wife drove car to work
-Wife parked car in unsecured area
-thieves strolled through
-thieves tried a few other cars
-thieves took my car
-security caught it all on tape
-security sipped their coffee and watched
-thieves drove off
-2weeks later thieves dumped car

They were not in it for parts, or the car would have been stripped clean. I think they just needed a ride for a few days.
