egg eats paint almost right away. If it's dried it will most likely take paint with it. Try bug and tar remover. But be carful and gentle cause too much pressure might pull the paint off!

Try moisten it if you can. DON'T go pulling eggshell pieces off. I walked out to egg yolk and egg shell pieces on the drivers side door of my Camaro once and I was not a happy camper. Touch up paint works wonders to.

That really pisses me off. I had someone egg most of my street, including my mint black SS. I got lucky and it rained over night and helped lessen the damage, but the eggs still left a bunch of small paint chips. I'm not sure if touch up paint will take care of it or not, but at this point, I'm willing to try just about anything.

I agree. It's too late for the paint.

Just another reason I have a badass alarm installed, if someone we're to egg my car, the alarm would go off, and alert Me via 2 way pager... while I run out the door shooting the dart gun at them. That really sucks, probably some little punk kids who thought it would be funny to egg someone who has a nice car because they can't afford it or something like that. I know a lot of people think I'm spoiled because of my car, but I pay for it myself. Luckily they aren't brave enough to mess with it.

Ps. I would try bug remover as well, it's probably your best bet.

Chances are people who do this will never be caught. I guess it would be wise to put the car cover on when turning in for night.
