About a month or so ago, our car got keyed. Unfortunately, this was no little scratch, but a pair of really long scratches, running the length of the car on both sides. While our insurance will cover it, we've still got the $500 deductable to worry about, and while I can understand that a professional paint place has to blend the paint and all that, we were looking into maybe covering it up ourselves. The scratch isn't overly deep or anything, it's just long.
The main thing we're looking at is this product , combined with some touch up paint from the dealer, so it's a good match. Now, while the repair kit looks good in theory, I was wondering if anybody has had experience with stuff like this. We're not looking for it to be absolutely perfect, just enough so that you can't see it from >5 feet away, like you can now. Is this sort of thing a "good enough" solution compared to taking it to a professional body shop, or is the end result likely to look like we spent around $30 to fix the problem instead of doing it right?
