It's a newer Nissan Xterra, nothing really to be nasty over (hey, good thing I wasn't driving the Bentley

ITS A CONSPIRICY!!!! Someone keyed my X-Terra too!!
Dont you just hate people sometimes!!

What gets me is you get a new car, you go to walmart or kmart or any other high end store, and park all the way out at the end of the parking lot, where you have to walk 20 min to get in the store, and of couse, no one else parks there because it's too far away, you come out and there is the old 1976 ford maverick with dents all over in it, parked so close to you, you have to go to the other side of the car to get in so you don't add another dent to your car trying to open the car door like they did when they were trying to get out of their car.

I got it, people in AZ are BORED.

I feel for you. I've been there too.

If not to deep you can use touch up paint. If you have to get repaint from the body shop, they charge out by part ( each door, front,side panels) as they can pain like 1/2 door. unfortunately the price go up fast. my neighbor's just spend $600 to repaint the back door of their SUV.

Hope it won't cost you to much.

Sorry for you

If you know the color, and I mean Nighthawk Black Pearl instead of Black, there is this really good touch up paint that you could use. It has the base paint and the clear cover that goes over it. It's inexpensive too!! It comes in a pen, so it's really easy to use.
My big brother ordered it for me when some A**HOLE from my apt building scratched a big "7" on my hood when I parked in front of the building. (When my car was brand new).
It's really good and I'll look for the website for you.

Lol. Maybe it's the heat and the only way to relieve themselves is to do damage.

Amazes me how much a little scratch can cost you.

Oh cool! I will check my manual/papers for the exact color, thanks!

OMG that happened to me tooo . . I was so enraged and so was my hubby . . . I don't know why people can be so mean . . . as much hubby wants to get it done, it is way to expensive because the entire side panel of the door need to be completely painted . . .

I just it when stuff like that happens and you have no control over it.

I COMPLETELY understand. I don't have a nice car, I have a civic, a simple civic (slight lie) but it's not a bentley or anything. I'm proud to own it because it's the only thing I have worth anything and because it does, I park all the way to the end of the parking lot too. Some people huh???

LOL you are like my hubby and me, we always park far or on the end of a lot so there is only one side to worry about . . . . no matter how you try to take care of your car, someone is out there to mess it up for you

Miao · 03-20-2009, 02:34 PM

The only thing with new paint jobs is that, I've been told, it becomes more peel-happy after a while. But I'd be worried leaving a keyed part to rust.

There are a lot of SUV haters, treehuggers. I hear them all the time while walking through the city and come upon their hate posts in car forums.

I'm one of those who love them, except for the gas guzzling part.

tumismom · 03-20-2009, 02:40 PM

i am so sorry Anne. Some people are just plain mean.

I hope it is not gonna be too costly to fix it.

Bizzymammabee · 03-20-2009, 04:14 PM

Aww that is horrible. Jealousy is what is boils down to most times.

There is a way compound that you can buy that gives a general color. A lot of used car dealerships use it and you baisically just buff it into the spot and it fills the color. That is a decent temp fix. If you lived locally our friend could fix it for you..that is what he does for a living. I would suggest getting it done when you get the spare cash. It's definitely not something you can do.

You could also go to the dealership and they will get the paint match for you and you can touch up the scratch like that. It won't be perfect but it will totally match and it is a decent fix.

jp4m2 · 03-20-2009, 04:28 PM

That's terrible!.....It's hard to imagine the mentality of a person who can deliberately do something like this and then just go about their day feeling good about it, as gave them some sort of satisfaction.....just sick......

I hope you can get it repaired without having to report it to the insurance company......

Nikki+2 · 03-20-2009, 05:15 PM

OMG Ann, WTH?!!

I would have flipped. So sorry!

Fingers crossed that the touch up paint does the trick.
