I noticed my car had been keyed this morning. How should I go about fixing it? (lemmy.ml)

I'm pretty sure this happened away from home and I'm just now noticing. The scratch is really deep hitting the metal in the deepest part. I have full coverage but I'm worried a claim will raise my insurance too much to be worth it. I've wrenched on cars before but never painted anything because it scares me.

Is it time to start watching chrisfix videos or should i just deal with insurance?

Definitely repair. If you have comprehensive coverage, then double definitely!

My deductible is $500 though and that feels like a lot to spend on a scratch.

Basically any bodywork job involving painting panels is going to cost at least $800. And if it's multiple body panels it will be more.
