Some pictures can help better define whether the damage is correctable through light repair or require a full respray.

If you can catch your finger nail on the scratch, you will need a respray to completely fix it.

Yeah they're pretty deep, my nail catches on it.
Full respray? Like that certain panel or the whole damn car?

Well....... that really depends on you and how properly you want to correct the defect. It depends on the panel that the defect is on, whether the defect is on one panel or across multiple. A thorough shop would respray the affected panel, and then clear match the connecting panels so that there is not a noticeable difference in shade or color match. Thats where it gets expensive on the repair bill. This is all very general and non specific advice since the visual damage has not been shard with us for a proper assessment.

You havent mentioned if the damage is on multiple panels or just one, and where it is located. So I honestly don't know, it could be a quarter of a car respray or a full respray depending on how much you got keyed.

Damn haters. Who did you **** off? loll
