Scratch =(

I just found out my car got scratched yesterday.
How much do you guys think the repair will cost?
Furthermore, any idea what kind of item will scratch like this?
the only thing I can think of is key
Here are two pictures that I took after I notice the damage. The 1st picture you can clearly see the scratch. The 2nd picture is harder to see because the light reflection kinda covered it. It is a very LONG scratch that appear on both driver/passenger door




by the way this is my 1st time uploading picture on this forum, so I hope this gona work out. If not, someone please teach me how to do it

try feel it with your finger nail. if it grabs ur finger nail then it needs to be repainted, if it doesnt then it can be buffed out

is it a deep scratch? It looks to smooth to be a scratch. I'm wondering if you could polish that out with rubbing compound

That doesn't look like a key scratch to me. When someone keys your car the line the key makes is very deep and razor thin. You can also definitely feel it with your fingernail.

This looks like someone swiped your car with a shopping cart or something similar.
