oh WTF....Where did this happen. Stupid haters. Perhaps you could use some kind of scratch remover? It won't get the deep ones but it might get some of it out. When my car got egged I used scratchX and it got everything but the paint chips out(obviously).

if its light you can sand with 1500-2000 (depends ont he color) grit sandpaper buff with rubbing compound and then hand glaze. your gogin to need a portercable. if you dont wan to do it your self any body shop that paints can do it. same process to get rid of orange peel and drips.

I'm pretty damn good with a porter cable and sandpaper, but that won't fix what your describing. You'll need help from a good paint shop and your insurance company for this one.

for the amount it costs for a good paint job, i think its definitely worth it to pay the deductible.

yea seriously you probably need to spray most of the car so you might as well paint the whole car! but thats all big bucks!!! insurance is the way to go and since its a non traffic violation they arent supposed to raise your rates.
