Car vandalized, Scrates all over, Can it be saved

Never thought this would happen to me in my neighborhood. I parked my car on street yesterday night and today morning it was majorly vandalized with scratches all over, half of the hood is scratched with key or nail. Trunk has some words written.

Some punk messed up his life and if I see him, he will be burned alive for sure.

Is there any decent touchup paint out there which can cover major key/nail delibrate scrates?

I don't have digital camera so can't post pictures. Paint is Dark Green, Please any help. I am really heart broken, can't see my car like this.

Boy that sukcs. You can try the regular Nissan touch up paint, then use the Langka system to try to smooth out the 'blobs'. It would be quite a project...sounds like there are quite a few scratches to fix.

If you can go over the scratches with your finger nail and feel them (even just a little bit) it has gone through the clear-coat and isn't fixable without repainting.

Sorry to hear that, some jerk left a scratch 4 ft long with a key. I was lucky that the paint was not damaged and the key got only through the clear coat. It took me 10 applications of Meguire's ScratchX to hide the scratch. Now it's completely invisible.
You'll need to post the pics if you want people to answer whether it is possible to repair or not.
