Angry My Echo got keyed!

Very deep, long scratch (aprox 30cm) underneith the side light...I can get the touch up paint and try to cover it myself...but I know it'll look bad. Any suggestions for a easy fix? Where can I go around GTA to get a more professional fix for a reasonable price? better yet..what is a reasonable price?

welcome to the club.... this is why you can't own anything nice or shiny living here.

if you have access to an orbital buffer, you can try applying a heavy polish to try and polish it out, if it's too deep then you might have to wet sand the scratch and touch it up with a few layers of touch up paint.

as for the recommendations for a bodyshop or price, it would be hard to give you an honest answer without a pic of the scratch
