Ya you can guess im not to happy...well its 2 feet long above my drivers side rear tire and its deep..will scratch remover or touch up paint work? Has anyone gone through there ins for(vandalism) scratches? How much will it cost to get that area painted?

yeah same thing happened to me..i used scratch remover and i waxed it..it kinda worked though you can still see it..im not to mad though im getting a lot done to my car and its gotta get repainted anyway..

I hate people that try to destroy other peoples stuff! jealous mofo's!
Atleast do something to the person themselves not the car!

whats the best scratch remover? How about the stuff on TV I think its called GS20?

Sorry to hear about that...if it's really deep like you say, you can't fix it without repainting. Like if you run your hand across it and can really feel a groove, then it cut into the metal and you'll have to get a body shop to fix it. Otherwise, if it's just a light surface scratch (which I doubt from what you explained), you can try to buff it out. If you can see metal or it goes in deep, then you'll have to get it fixed, for most likely around 400 to 800 depending on where you go etc. Good luck. Insurance should cover it but you will have to pay your deductible. One thing people do is make it worse so they will get more money out of it by keying more body panels, but that's insurance fraud.

look at my pic. was quoted 800 bucks to get that fixed

Dude that really sucks. I had the same thing on both sides of my car except it did not go past the door (just front fender up to the doors). I payed 650 to fix those, along with painting and installing a blitz front. But that proved to be a waste since I got rid of the blitz front 6 months later, and then repainted my whole car later on...

Insurance dont pay for that?

Not worth making small claims if your deductible is 500 bucks...

if you wondering what touch up paint looks like...see below in my sig ;-)

bastards got me from the drv mirror all the way to the taillight. The touch up paint worked well, hides it mostly, 'cept for when your right up close on it....


My car always looks good 20 feet away, lol... just dont look at the touch up paint or the bandaids over my old stock 3pc fin holes hahah
