How much to fix a scratch on a car? Eeeek.

I’ve somehow managed to scratch all along the side of my car - it’s all along the passenger front door and some of the back door too. Anyone done this and know a rough cost to fix?

my DP is not going to be impressed with me 😳

How bad is the scratch? I've never done anything about scratches on my vehicles tbh, unless it's exposed bare metal and thus risking rust. But then I dgaf how they look!

Quite bad :(. My DP is very car proud so he won’t leave it we’ll have to get it fixed.

Has it just taken the paint off or dented the panels too?

Have you definitely done it or has it been keyed?

What @yoshiblue said. That sounds like you've been keyed. Can you paint it yourself? A DIY shop will have small pots of car paint and a chart. You look up your car make, year and colour code and find the matching pot.

I haven't looked recently but I used to see scratch repair offers on Groupon a lot, maybe worth a look to see if there's anything local to you?

This happened to my car in Aldi at Christmas, scratched all down the door & drove off🙄 right down to the undercoat too!

I shopped round for quotes & it ended up being £170
