It will have to be painted. Do you have insurance? If you do it should take care of it, full coverage insurance that is.

the way insurance companies are it is probably better to just pay for it .A good body shop will fix it and it will look right. Don't know about cost.

If nothing else, at least consult with your insurance company about it. I have State Farm and they have a clause for vandalism complaints. If youhave a police report made to document the damage, State farm will NOT require you to pay the deductible. As for a rate increase, I think if you haven't made a claim in awhile and your record is decent, your rates will most likely not be affected. I figure I've been paying for something all these years and never needed it, I might at least want to see if it would be worth it. You might be surprised! Sorry to hear it happened, though
