Default Got keyed

Yeah my red dragon got keyed. It was a girl. Anyway it was one line down each side. Some parts deep especially on the back quarter panels but doesnt seem like its to the metal. Anybody know if itll rust? It happened in june, the first day out of storage before insurance was put back on. What luck...any suggestions?

Can you feel the scratches with your fingernail? If so, they won't buff out. I'd say make an insurance claim. You can take it to an ABRA Auto Body to have it repaired. We do good work.
