Default Keyed Car
Looks like my car got keyed on the trunk... It's not a super deep, but if I run my finger, my nails catch it

Would I be able to polish this out, or does my trunk need to be repainted?

Sorry to hear about your car getting keyed, some people just don't have any respect for other peoples property huh

As to a repaint, I agree with what NCZ13 said. Try touch up paint/wetsand/compound and polish. Should make a big difference.

You may get away with just compounding and polishing if it is not that deep.
