My brand new, less than 2000 miles on the clock, bone stock 4 cylinder beige Ford Ranger got keyed.
What kind of loser do you have to be to key my truck, when I park next to a big-shiney black Tundra and a Red Saturn? Why pick my dirty little go-fer car?
is there anything I can do, besides paint the whole door? its to the metal and the only way buffing would help is if i buffed the paint off the whole truck.
Insurance should cover this shouldn't they? You could protect the bare metal with a little epoxy primer in the mean time if you wanted. Epoxy won't absorb moisture like a regular primer would.

please help...
If its too the metal on your new truck I would think you would want the job done right, since you probaly plan to keep it few more years. The only "right" way, in my opinion. is take it to a few good shops and let the best one($$$) paint the door, while the paint is still new and will be easy to match the OEM. Check with your insurance agent first, and be sure it is covered on your collision rider. Dont wait too long, insurance agents dont like to hear about claims that happened 6 months ago. If not insured, you are most likely looking at about 250 to 300 bucks for a quality door panel paint job. Yep, thats high, but auto paint is the most expensive component on a vehicle. As to the person that did it, they are one of the "little people" with little minds, and having low self esteem and being useless, they feel "better" by hurting other people, go figure, its getting to be a sick world, good luck

Sorry to hear that hyepwrd. I agree with Greg that getting it painted will be the best way. You could touch it up and buff it, but most likely will still be able to tell where it was. A repaint is the way to go.
definetly don't use touch up nearly the same thing happened on my Ranger, just not as deep, touch up paint was the worst idea I ever had. The whole side of my truck is ruined because of it and now I'm trying to undo the fiasco.
i'm just going to leave it as a reminder of how ****ed up and two faced coward bitches are. its in the shop now because i got rear-ended by the most riciest ricer, that describing wouldn't do justice for...and now my bumper is as fugged up as his whole car (before and after his clumsiness).
well, its in the shop now finally for the bumper, and i'm driving a Dodge Ram 4x4 slt...and yeah, it does have a hemi...5.7L of whoopass, hee hee hee. i was all on a *** hondas *** today when he cut me off. i knew the new dodges were nice but *wow*.
