Having had the local vandals 'key' my car recently (3 panels), I want to cheaply repair the damage.
As it will probably happen again I want to avoid a professional fix at this time.
Question. what is the best way to cover up the damage. Who suplies the closest match in spray paint and clear laquer.
Any other suggestions appreciated.
Also any good discreet door protectors, as my passengers have few brains.
Car is a Silver Metallic 98 Turbo.
Regards

Sounds tacky I know...but Hallfords do a kit with some 25m of black stick on door / panel protector. This will do both sides of the car and actually looks quite reasonable (much better than the "official" Subaru stuff). I also have a silver 97 turbo and it's the first thing I did when I bought the car 14 months ago and yes, it stays stuck (even with me using a high pressure cleaner most weeks). Also the first thing that I shall be doing when my MY99 model (also silver) arrives, hopefully!!, by the end of the year.
