An idiot has run a key along the rear wing of my car. Any suggestions for repairing the damage or should I go through insurance to have the car repaired through a Ferrari main dealer?

Ouch, so sorry for you. Don't most main dealers outsource resprays etc so I would get a quote from a reputable place first before going down the insurance route.

Roughly where do you live, sure you'll get recommendations for paintwork, assuming its down to the primer and needs a respray.

Sorry to hear. I assume any decent bodyshop can sort. I use a superb family run business in Epping, my wifes Rangey was heavily keyed and they sorted it perfectly and reasonably. My main F dealer (one of the largest) uses Chartwell, it's located in the Midlands. I've no direct contact but I assume they have a ton of experience given the volume of Ferraris that pass thru.

That sucks, sorry to hear about it. Where in the country are you based?

As others have already said, the main dealers would generally outsource it to a bodyshop in any case.
