People **** me off!! (eggs) So I'm late to work this morning and I run out to get in my car and notice something yellow on my drivers side door handle. I Look down and my ENTIRE botton half of the door is covered in egg yolks, and the middle of it all is a bunch of egg shell stuck to my car! I tried to take it off with my hand and the paint chipped in a bunch of places in about a 4" area. Why can't kids leave peoples **** alone? 
So my question is this, I have some touchup-paint in a small bottle, what is the best way to conceal this? I mean blending into the paint etc.? Thanks for the help.

I already cleaned off all the egg yolk and there's no damage except where the egg shell used to be.
My cars ALWAYS get targeted for this ****, my old car had tires slashed, windows broken etc.

omg....wow... I wish I could catch the ******** in the act. When we had burgularies last year we had CD players stolen on 2 or 3 different occasions. Makes you wanna camp outside with a shotty.

Near Northern Dallas Texas. It's not a bad area at all but we've had our share or random acts of vandalism and robberies especially last year. Late Junior year my tire got slashed in the parking lot, and our van got a 8 ball thrown thru the large window.
So if I touch up with paint how would you blend it? Let it dry then use rubbing compound on the edges?

I would build up a good bit of paint on the chips, touch up let dry repeat till you have a good base and wont rub it all off easily. Then take a polising compound of choice (I really like safecut by waxshop) and start to polish the area until it smoothes out to your liking. If you end up taking all the paint off or take it down to far just start over. Make sure the paint is good and dry when you start polishing also. Then go over with the wax of your choice (I like meguiars gold class).
I worked at the premier detail shop in Portland, Or for 5 years and this is the technique we would use. Hope this helps.
