Need help...Vette got egged So some neighborhood ******* kids egged my Corvette the other night. I almost got away clean but there is a spot on the hood where the paint is all distorted. It looks like cracks and chips from the debree of the shells. The car has 10,000 miles on it and I really don't want to have to get it painted, from my experience its just never the same after that. If I found a perfect hood from an 04 in the same color do you guys think it would match? Money is not really a concern, I just want it perfect again and am not sure what the best route is. What do you guys think????
I think it would work. If both cars were pampered and washed, waxed and garaged kept it should be close if not a good match. Buy a bat too, and crack some knees caps. They want to play.... you can play too. Seek them out and beat them. Their little asses ain't worth as much as your Vette.

I'd try all the different swirl and haze removers first before I purchased a hood. Even factory sprayed cars vary slightly from one to another. Was the egg left on hte car in direct sun/ alot of heat or is what you're seeing where the shell made indentions into the paint? If it's still egg-stuff on there, the paint may peel back with it, egg has a hell of an adheasion property. I had a goob pop my old TA with an egg and what I got was a sort of spider-webby type design left indented into the paint,the solution was to use a swirl and hazed remover, buff it hard(don't burn through the paint) , then they make colored prewax reviving paste, buff that in and wax over. Couldn't tell it was ever hit, and black is a killer to do this on, you're lucky with silver.

I had a sim prob. a few years ago to my wifes Trailblazer, and it's black so it shows everything. It had to been one of the hottest days in the summer for it to bake on all day while she was at work. I washed it with warm soapie water then while wet I used a clay bar. I would't call it 100% the best, but more like 98% and you really have to know where it is to even see it. Since it has been over a year and a few washes and waxes later I can't even find it anymore. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps?
