Default key marks

Ok had an ex girl friend and she ended up keying my car not really bad but there is a line on both sides about 6 inchs long and deep into the doors. Would there be anyway to fix it with out painting the entire car.

If it is small enough they won't even have to paint anything but the doors

if you cant feel it with your finger nail you can sand it with 2000 and cut and buff it be sure to wipe a white towel constatly to make sure you don't break through clear. If you can tape a square leaving half inch completely around the scratch sand with 400 till it's dull spray your color and clear let it dry for 24 hours or however long clear says then do 2000 until edge is gone and buff it out, but to do it absolutely correct sand the whole peice down and blend. Depends on how much experience you have
