My freshly keyed cobalt

I bought this car in the middle of may and last night some 17 year old kid rather take his anger out on my car then my face. I argued with him for about an hour and I told him his chance was then to punch me and I wouldn't do anything about it except turn around and beat his ass. Well once I clean the fresh scratches and my car I will post more pics. Any ideas on what I should do? OEM Carbon fiber hood?








anyone ever had bad key marks repaired professionally? how did it turn out?

Hell no. Fix it first at his expense, then beat his ass. If you don't get his money, enjoy your new punching bag.

You don't need to be looking like a hostile, bad guy right now

keep us updated.. I'm interested to here what the cops CAN do. If it were to be here, you'd be beating the kid by now, because our cops cant do a thing except for scarf down donuts.

Key marks don't really touch up that well. You would need to get it repainted.

This happened to me last May... I still have nightmares of that Sunday morning when I went out to look at my car... Sorry this happened to a fellow Ohioan. Make sure you get a police report so your insurance can take care of the rest. If the keymarks are deep, make sure whoever you get to repair doesn't overspray the filler (or whatever they use to repair) on the rest of the car. Good luck!!

Little dude probably did it because he's jealous that he doesn't have a Cobalt...

Get all the keyed panels completely stripped and repainted. The bastard should get sent to court on destruction of property. Oh and make use of the carbon fiber hood idea

For those who have not seen 27th Element's Cobalt:


I plan on doing something very similar to this if I can bring together the extra cash. I am just afraid that if I have the top half painted black that some orange will still be visible under rubber strips or molding if someone doesn't paint it correctly. I will be doing a full SS body conversion(front bumper and lower lip, rear bumper and lip, etc...)

There is a product out there called Lanka the works very well. Here is a link to the links on my site where you can order it from. Hope it helps, someone needs to break that key off in his A$$, you dont mess with someones ride, thats just not right.

Let us know what happens with the police and if they can get you any satisfaction from this.
