  Firstly, a Blessed New Year to all of you!
  
  Well, I parked my car at the petrol kiosk(designated parking lots) below my place from 4am til the very morning at 11am.
  
  And to my horror, two of doors of my 1 mth plus accord - PI were been scratched and a deep one(guess it's by key).
  
  I have asked a few workshop and it will cost me $400 plus to repaint the two doors.
  
  So two questions i have.
  
  1. Under such circumstances, i just have to admit that i'm unlucky and that's all?
  
  2. Is the painting price reasonable? Anyone have any recommendation?

  bro,
  
  i would like to noe why in the first place u parked your car there? Well,since you have already knew that this had happened,you had to face it.It's all bad luck. Getting it re sprayed at $400 is a little too expensive..jus check out a few more workshops b4 u deal with them.
  
  cheers,

  the only reasons why your car gets scratched is because of parking issues:
  
  1. you parked your car such that it's position is inconveniencing other patrons
  
  2. you are parked in a lot which you are not meant to be at
  
  3. your car has been eye marked by others

  $400 is a bit too expensive for both doors, if they are only gonna patch up the scratches but if they were to respray that means they gonna scrap off oll the paint n then apply new paint then it shud be reasonable already..

  With a car, if you seek convenience too often, you will be financially inconvenienced often.
