Or maybe just a sharpie? 
Just kidding! But seriously, blending it right is key to a neat finish. How about practicing on a panel first?

I’m really sorry to hear that! First, document the damage with clear photos from different angles. You should also get a police report if there’s enough evidence to support it. This will help when filing your insurance claim.
Thanks, michael94! I’ll definitely take pictures. Do you know if I need anything else for the insurance claim?
Yes, Brittany! You’ll need your policy information and any receipts for repairs. If you have witnesses or video footage, gather that too! It’ll speed up the claims process.
Got it! What about legal action against the person who keyed my car? Is that an option?
Absolutely, edawson! You could file a police report and potentially pursue a civil lawsuit. Just keep in mind that it can be a lengthy process, so weigh your options carefully.

Wow, this is such a frustrating situation! Have you thought about reaching out to your insurance agent to get their advice on what steps to take next? They might provide additional resources.
Good suggestion! I guess I should talk to them. Crazy how some people just can’t respect others’ property.

Ain’t that the truth, johnathan12? It’s disheartening. Just remember, a lot of people have been in your shoes. Staying calm and organized will help you navigate the claims process more smoothly.
Could be worse! Imagine if they had used a paint roller instead of a key. At least you can fix this, right? Keep your chin up!
Haha! You’re right, wallacetraci. I’ll try to keep a sense of humor about it. Thanks for the lift!
