Is it paint chips or is it just crap? Try a clay bar and see if it will come out

Eggs are one of those things that can do some real good damage to the paint. Chances are you are going to have to get the door repainted.

My car got with an egg over the winter, but luckily it hit that plastic triangular piece behind the passenger window, all I had to do was replace that.

You COULD go through your insurance company and claim it as vandalism, but I'm pretty sure your deductible would be more than it would actually cost to repair it yourself.

It pretty much just cut the paint and ive had it touched up, but a buddy of mine thinks he can do it without hitting the whole door with some paint, so i guess ill give that a shot

Find the person that did it, kick his ***, and take his wallet. Then you can get your door repainted. Sorry to say but eggs and bologna really mess up the paint.

Im not sure how the bolonga messes the paint up, but my friends car was bolongad, and his paint was screwed. It looked horrible and he had a clear coat. We waxed it several times but it did no good.

Had the same thing happen to my car. Passenger side front quater panel. Little chips in the shape of a circle, not much u can do about it. Probably have to get it repainted

Damn people and their EGGS! Seems like people cant appreciate nice cars anymore. You work so hard to keep it nice and clean and this is what happens
