I get it on a truly collectible car, but on a car that gets driven regularly, I think original paint is not that big of a deal.I changed the windshield in our 951 last spring because it was cracked.

Well that's just it, and in my mind paint to replace scratches is different than a ton of body work.
Run fingernails across it and see if it gets stuck

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

This is one of the most cowards ways, people full of envy keyed a car I don't know how I will react if I see the a@#hole doing that. Just Friday, I was approaching my car and there was a parking spot opened on the right side, this guy in a beat up ford escort came fast and parked right there, I walked quickly to the right he pushed his door completely, but I stop it right before hitting my car.
His face was priceless, he was just saying, Oh I'm sorry I didn't hit it, I said yes you didn't hit because I grab the door, if not you will intentionally dent my car, I was fuming, I think the guy can notice my face, so I let go of the door and told him be carefull every time you open the door with any car, dents starts at $150 and up.
Where do you guys live where keying still happens to any car after high school? Sure, in SoCal not everyone has a nice car, but nearly everyone APPRECIATES nice cars.
That just sucks.
I do live in so cal Idk why anybody would do this to my car I don't have problems with anybody to have this happen. It is definitely a key unfortunately
Sorry to hear about this, it's hard to have nice things these days and not have someone feel obligated to have their revenge against you for some reason.
I've had my door kicked in by someone who feels it necessary to ruin things belonging to other people. I always park on the far end of the parking lot and never take up more than one spot. People love to ding your door or otherwise damage your car. I'm on a first name basis with my body shop. A sad reality.
Really sorry this happened. People are idiots... and are not taught to respect other's property.
Some idiot backed into my Boxster 2 yrs ago... left no note. Had it fixed on my dime. Ditto on my wife's Cayenne... again my dime. Pisses me off!
Really sorry that some moron, lowlife did this to your car!
This happened to my boxster, I parked it toward the back of the lot with no other cars around and when I got back to the car there was a couple scratches. My wife asked me if I think it could of happened somewhere else and I just noticed it? Since I had just washed and waxed the car that morning, I really think I would have noticed the scratches.
Crap like that pisses me off real quick.
Yeah people suck and sorry about your situation.
At least from the pics, that looks like it could be polished out. Run your fingernails across it and see if it gets stuck. If not, it could most likely get polished out.
My neighbor's car got keyed like that but in his whole side of the car in many places. Luckily I was able to polish 98% of it out and he was ecstatic.
Lots of this **** happens in Michigan (err. Metro Detroit area) we get these UAW guys in their lifted domestic trucks or there domestic cars with UAS stickers everywhere, they will roll the window down, yell nasty things, throw stuff, etc.
My favorite is the ones in non-American built "American Cars/trucks" that do this stuff.
It's only happened 1 or 2 times to me, but I've seen it so many times. "Thanks for taking my job *******" or "buy American stupid F*ck" stuff like that. Or just them driving aggressively, cutting off, brake checking, etc (now that type of stuff has happened to me).
I'm just glad Michigan is slowing accepting Right to work and union busting...its been a couple of years and things are getting better since they've lost quite a bit of power.
Coffee in hand, relaxing early morning in my Pj's, standing at the window looking at the P car in the driveway.. I watch dumbstruck as a teenage miscreant walking out of my driveway drops a wire he had used to scratch the length of rear quarter of my car.. Still in my Pj's I dragged him back from the bus stop by the back of his neck.
The neighbors called the police as I was dragging him back and when they got there and I explained, five 0 were very very surprised I had not beat him to a pulp. They did make me take my hands from around his neck however. His mom offered to pay, single mom obviously over her head but I just let it go. Its just a Porsche.
With my previous car I joked that I needed a clear bra on the upper half of the side panels. SUV doors. That way paintless dent removal would do it. And I probably would have stopped bothering putting the inside trim back on at some point.
Sorry to hear this, people in the Midwest are angry people.
Check out this video by Ammo NYC. It shows a very complex way to repair it without re spraying the whole panel. There will be some noticeable residual. Or just hire a pro. Good Luck!

That really sucks. I know how you feel - had my Boxster keyed all the way around the car, a full 360 degrees, as few years ago. Sh*t happens sometimes. I am very particular about where I will park now.
I'm Sorry but it Doesn't Matter WHERE you Park, if somebody Wants to key Your Car they're going to do it. You just saw where one of the guys on here said his car was in his DRIVEWAY & some idiot kid apparently keyed it on the way to his bus stop! As far as the OP, man i hate to hear this!
My current car was keyed all the way around when the PO had it. Required a repaint of everything but the roof and wing.
The other car I almost bought had also been keyed so badly it required an entire repaint. Both were in NYC. Neither owner seemed shocked that it happened. The 951 (that my son drives) also got keyed here in KC. I figure he pissed off some girl.
Thank you guys for all the support and tips! My car is original paint and it was a real bummer to find this. A car is only original once so a repaint isn't an option.
Is there some special unicorn semen that only Porsche has that's in the paint they use on these?
I wouldn't think, barring something special they do, that a respray with the original color would really hurt the value.
Heh - so you just summarized a post in the same thread for us? That's awesome. If you could start doing that for each thread, I'd appreciate it. And if you'll remove all references to KK and/or JohnnyIrish, I'll pay you $1 per thread.
I don't know what it is with the whole respray shame. When I was buying my 996, the sales guy really wanted to make me an offer on the 986 - but of course said, "Ooh, this fender has been resprayed..."
I told him that I thought the (well-done) respray looked a lot better than a big-*** dent and scratch on the top of the fender where a big chunk of sheet metal fell on it, but if he preferred the original look I could recreate it for him.
I kinda figured that would be the end of the Boxster negotiations, but he actually wound up buying it...terrible, horrible, unforgivable respray and all...
Original paint is a pretty big deal to me. It shows the car hasn't been hit or filled with bondo it just makes it a more honest car I look for as much original paint as possible when I purchase a car. Look at the classic car market which cars are most desirable usually the original paint survivors. Not to say my 996 will ever be a classic
Well that's just it, and in my mind paint to replace scratches is different than a ton of body work. But, even then, after going through the Jeep I don't mind a bunch of body work.
I much prefer the look of my car with the resprayed front than with all that road rash it had before. I think most potential buyers would appreciate it too.
I'm mad at the world because it's full of unfairness...cruelty...civil unrest...war...greed...
Oh. Wait. I like all those things.
I checked, and it turns out I'm not mad at the world. I just enjoy seeing the humor in things. Like people Who randomly Capitalize common Nouns, For Example.
I also like to Troll trolls from Time to time, as Well. Thus, my Fascination with the Afore-Mentioned trolls.
911661 is not alone in valuing original paint. I get it on a truly collectible car, but on a car that gets driven regularly, I think original paint is not that big of a deal.I changed the windshield in our 951 last spring because it was cracked. Should I have stuck with the original despite the crack? No one has an issue replacing parts on a car when they are worn out - why is a respray any different?
And OBTW, there just aren't that many cars made each year that will be truly collectible: the exotics comprise the vast majority of that population. Other than the 918, I don't think that any 2015 model Porsche falls into the "truly collectible" category. Sure there are a lot of fantastic cars rolling out of Stuttgart every year, but they are cars meant to be driven and enjoyed, not to be museum pieces. The more I am around car museums the clearer it becomes to me that few museum cars actually are perfectly preserved mint condition vehicles. Use 'em, customize 'em, make your car your own.
