Guess what? I got keyed :(

After work, as I was getting into my car, guess what I saw? About 10 inches scratch mark on rear fender.

Will touch up paint do the trick? Where can I buy it? Thanks.

That sucks! Depends on how deep the scratch is. Touch up paint can be purchased at your local dealer.

You know, I tried the Dr.Color Chip touch up paint on a small rock chip that I had. It works pretty good and the color match is right on. Take a look and see what you think:

Sorry for the idiot who didn't respect your car man.
The touch up paint from the dealer should be a good match.

Any ideas as to who did it? Disgruntled coworker? Bitter ex girlfriend?

there is a suspect ex but not going to accuse her..
I can't afford to paint the whole fender. I bought the touch up paint so hopefully that works out.

Such a bad feeling everytime i see that line.. anyway thanks for your advise guys.
