My almost 10 year old ml500 still had paint that looked as good as new until it got keyed recently. It was in a parking lot at Universal Studios, probably some stupid kids that have no respect. Because of this I am switching to full coverage insurance. It's depressing having to look at it everytime, but not worth spending the $$ to get it repainted. The hood got a big circle on it and there's a line down the driver side from front to back. Both scratches are down to the metal.

 

show pics. might not have to get it repainted if its not deep enough. same thing happened to my old audi and took it to body shop were they only charged me 50 dollars to get all scratches removed. don't know exactly how they did it but the manager told me I was lucky that it wasn't to deep of scratches. BTW punk *** kids are the worst, besides angry ex's

 

Doesn't look that deep in the pics, but definitely down to the metal.

 

So, it's possible it's you Ex that did that ? Just kidding...in general, too many people (kids maybe) are jealous or bored and walk around the neighborhood and vandalize other cars coz they feel like it and with no reasons. Eventually, they will get caught and I always believe that "what goes around...comes around."
