Some s.o.b...

KEYED my trunk!!!! What would be the best way (other then repainting the whole thing) to cover up this ugly scratch? My car is royal blue.

Thanks

I was afraid of that.... but I found a site (http://www.paintscratch.com) that can help me get the specific color and I guess that's about my only "cheap" option...

when i got some scratches, I touched it up, then when it dried used some heavy rubbing compound it seemed to work best

I don't have a digi cam anymore... but it's not pretty. It's about 3-4 feet long from left to right (roughly brake light to brake light)

Insurance? Should be covered under comprehensive coverage. My insurance does not penalize me for comprehensive claims (like when my 3rd gen Maxima was hungry and ate a deer)...
