That SUCKS eggs!!! Sorry to hear it. Get it off as fast as you can! My house got hit a few years ago and the spots I missed ate the color off my siding. Ended up costing me $800 for a re-due in the area...

I agree, get it clean up. Relax, have a few beers, and wait for them to come by again, have a shotgun full of rock salt and pepper their a$$

Some people are just jackasses. I hope you cleaned it off immediately. Did you just dump a girfriend or something?

I'm sorry, that really sucks. Luckily, it probably will clean off. There is a lot worse things that people can do to the car. Good luck.

That's a good attitude. My Firebird got egged when I first bought it; it the yoke is not the issue so much as the shell impact points which leave chips in a circular pattern--the pattern draws your eye to the area.

I saw a Ferrari at a show the other day with same circle pattern and knew it had been egged.

buy yourself some touchup 1-2-3. It's a thinned down, yet gummy, touch up paint that you can smear over the entire area. Do it three or four times and you'll be just about unable to find the area again.

also good for sand blasted areas on the front of the car, and in the wheel wheels.

It's about $40. No one that I've recommended it to is ever sorry they bought it.

I feel your pain --Had mine egged in August (passenger door)--Found it the next morning with the circular cuts and they continued across door--Tried to touch it up, but was not happy with my work-- Paint shop said the egg had eaten into the surface --Cost me $50./ Insurance 450.

i'm just going to leave it for now, and eventually take it to get all chips (and now, egg shell patterns, lol) airbrushed. im over it. actually im kind of laughing at it haha. ive hurt the paint more at the track than the eggs did. it's just the principle of it. if someone's got a problem with me, they should deal with me, not my car. and if they dont have a problem with me, why touch my car at all?

I wish people would not take out their anger on cars. The car did not do anything. You need to meet with this guy face to face and settle it like adults.

Sorry for the situation with your car. Need to ask yourself a question: Do you own this car? Or, does the car own you?

While this is an unfortunate occurrence, things will happen.

Not sure how to handle the perp, and stay out of jail, but others here will have ideas.

Good luck.
