Default my bike was keyed!!!!

my 95 1000f (us colors) was vandelized while in a parking lot. some a**hole took an ignition key to the right side of my bike. unfortunatly i am electronicly challanged and cant get the resolution on my camera figured out, so till i do, no pics. the scrathes are fairly deep, wont come out with a good buffing, the tank and the fairing took it the worst. need to know the best way to fix this. have scrathes in all three colors ( blk, gry, green) and through decals. dont really want to redo the whole bike at some expensive paint shop, but bike is mint besides these scratheswith only 9k on it. any suggestions or are they there for ever?

Colorite make the correct colours for the Hondas. Expensive but the perfect match.
Decals will be found on e-Bay, either US or UK. !200 grit water paper, and find a friend with a spraygun......
Find the BASTARD who did it and break his kneecaps...................[:@][:@][:@]

If using Windows XP, download Powertoys - Image resizer
or just put it in MS Paint and drop the Resoultion. Don't do it with the camera.

will Insurance cover the damage?

thanks guys, no enemies, and liability only as far as insurance. and yes classic, if i caught them in the act i wouldnt be typing this thread, i would be in jail. pretty good with that kind of stuff, was more worried about matching colors. shadow1 has pointed me in the right direction as far as the paint. going to try MarkR's suggestion and post some pics. thanks all
