Car got egged and ate the paint!!!

So as I pull out of the garage to go to work this morning I noticed a large white yellowish spot on the rear window of my car. At first I thought wow that bird must of ate something bad but as I pulled up next to the car I noticed someone egged it all around and I mean EGGED IT BADLY!! Quickly washed everything off and was a little tough because the egg was completely dried. As I rinsed the car off I noticed I missed a spot to only realize that the paint above the door handle had completely come off!!! Fu$!in' kids have nothing better to do. Not a good start to this Monday or the week. Sigh...

That sucks. Hopefully a good body shop can fix it up for you for a reasonable cost.

Ya it sucks because it's very noticeable during the day. The damage may look small but sticks out like a sore thumb! Go figure, never thought my '04 CLK car cover would fit but it just barely made it. Ordered a car cover about two weeks ago and called yesterday to check status and it's delayed another week. Oh well, Porsche parked in front of my house wrapped in a benz car cover. Whatever works I guess lol

I'm having to install security cameras at my parents' house because some punks keep egging their house and trucks every couple months. What people don't understand is that the shell is just as damaging as the proteins and yolks inside the egg. Leaving the egg yolks on the car for a time will most certainly damage the paint, but when people throw the egg hard enough, it completely chips the paint down to the bare metal. The paint is literally chipped off, in the shape of a a circular star burst. This requires a repaint of the entire panel! Stupid "harmless" prank actually causes at least several hundred if not thousands of dollars. Those little punks are gonna pay next time an egg hits my parents' cars!

Exactly!! The sulfur in eggs oxidizes metals/paint and the shells become razor blades when thrown at high velocity. That's what happen to my car. Shells cracked the paint job and now I'm in to spend an unnecessary amount of money to fix the door! Arghhhh!!

Time to call insurance and get a new paint job. If it is just one section, a mobile painter can do it for a few hundred.

Why would you park the car without the cover outside?

Call the police and fill out a report. So, if they ever get caught the can be held accountable. Then call the insurance company.

Because it's too low to get into my garage and ordered a cover two weeks ago but still hasn't arrived.

Police report already filed and still have to take it in for an estimate.

What sucks is selling your car down the road and having potential buyers pull an AutoCheck/Carfax seeing this egg repaint listed as a damage/collision because you reported it to insurance.
