Hi all,
My 96SE was keyed just before I picked it up when I bought it. It's finally getting on my nerves enough to make me want to do something about it. Also, my front bumper has paint damage as well.

Typical body shops want roughly $250/panel, but 2 doors and a bumper is $750, and a decent whole car job is roughly $1K.
Is it worth looking for a quote to try to "feather" the paint on the doors and bumper? I hear that it's usually detectable, but key-marks are too

Any help appreciated. Shops in PA near Phila preferred if recommending

i feel you phil, same thing happened to me. I was so pissed. I didn't want to spend such an exorbitant amount of money so i just opted to buy the touch up paint in order to protect from rusting. It is detectable, but better than nothing. Good luck

If you have full coverage your insurance carrier should fix anything that has been vadilized. Just curious
