Default Car got keyed

Last thursday i brought my z3 to school and at the end of the day i found out someone had keyed my hood. the line is approximately 24 inches long and i tried buffing it out but it still leaves a nasty mark. i plan to ask my school to watch their security tapes tomorrow. i have no idea who would do it . i've heard stories about other people getting keyed but not as bad as mine. what did you do when you got keyed? what actions should i take?

You should get your hood repainted, and get a clear bra.

You don't have insurance? or you can't afford the deductible?

Its a hood, and even then, its just a car, so what if its a Honda forum?

You can always try touch up paint. If I understand it correctly, you just put it all in there and polish it, should come out looking great.

That's what the clear bra is for. Get a job.
