Any advice on fixing body paint is appreciated

Just having me MCS for two monthes and 12 days, it was badly scratch by bloody evil people using key or some sharp objects. It begins from mirror and ends on the tail light.
The scratch is deep. I can see the white paint under the hyper blue paint in some section.
This is first time my car being scratched. Can anybody tell me what is the best way to fix it? If I want to remove the scratch completely, do I need to have the whole door re-painted?

yeah does sound like a respray. It might be worth trying meguairs scratch x to remove the worst of the damage, but this wont fix the deeper scratches you are describing. It's best to have it re-done properly, for your benefit, and when it comes to resale. It sounds like quite a job though as it begins at the door and ends at the tail light. Hope it all works out ok. Dont let the b*stards get you down.
