My car got keyed :(

[jman]

FML. I have no idea what i did to deserve this! I know i don't pay car guards because i never have any change on me.

3 panels, back door, front door and front side panel

Anyways, do i have to get all 3 panels resprayed? Or can they address the scratches without doing that? Anyone know of somewhere i can go near the Centurion area?

 

[UrBaN963]

Eish that sucks man! Depends how deep it is, if they're surface scratches you may be able to get them polished out. If not,you'd need to contact a panelbeater I think.

Sorry man, people can be so mean...

 

[supersunbird]

Maybe you stole a parking... or else... wow

 

[Arthur Morgan]

Wow, some people have no respect for another's property. Sorry thing to see.

Wonder what goes through their heads when they do stuff like that.

Bad parking thread ... :crylaugh:

I never park badly. Even if i did, how could that justify costing me thousands in repairs. Some people baffle me

Ouch.


They should be able to repair without respraying the whole panel but ultimately it's better to just spray the whole thing.

Respraying 3 panels is surely going to cost a good couple thousand right?

Whose wife did you flirt with ?

Yes, my guess is around R1000-R1500 per panel depending where you go.

Lol if only, then it might have been worth it

Ouch,problem with respraying is that it's rarely ever an exact match.

Bs. Any panel beater worth a manufacturer certification has the exact colours for that panel. My car needed the bumper to be replaced, they just got a colour code from VW and matched it up fine.

Depends on the age of the car. Colour fades over time especially if parked in the sun.

Yes I know, and again that's something any decent panelbeater should be able to compensate for.

I've had my car's paintwork touched up in three different places - and it's a very tricky metallic beige - and I dare anybody to try identify where those spots on the car are. It's flawless.

There's a place close to Evetech a budy of mine went to get his paint repaired after a drunk incident one night (will phone him tomorrow morning).

Bad parking , road rage (finally took revenge) , accident or you really got on some car guards nerves . Still it's cowardly and outright mean thing to do .

Cool thanks man.
