    report it, if it was in public see if it was in view of any cameras, beat their ass, file charges and make them pay for an entire new paint job. the order is up to you ;)

    Yeah, how deep is the key mark? If your fingernail catches on the mark, then it likely won't buff out and the only way to make it perfect again will be repainting the affected area.

    I feel for ya. Keying is my worst nightmare and I know I would completely go nuts if I ever caught someone doing shit to my truck.

    That sucks. My mustang got keyed from headlight to tail light. I was pissed. You just can't have anything nice anymore. I already had my trailer hitch cover stolen from my truck. It was the stock one too.

    Call your insurance company. It should be covered, and get repaired properly.

    That's bullshit. Sorry to hear that man. I'd check around for paint guys and see what could be done. If it's going to cost a lot more than what your insurance deductible is then I'd file a claim. Off topic a bit but your location says Salina. Is that Salina, KS?

    Also you should probably stop associating with the type of people who retaliate by damaging your property

    Where did you read in the OP's post that this was some sort of retaliation?

    ....on top of the fact that in the past 5 years...I've encountered more keyings and vandalisms than I care to remember...and the ONLY time it's NOT retaliation is when it's a vandalism in an attempt to break into a vehicle
