I am so upset...   Someone thought it would be cute to throw a egg at my sons vehicle.  Long story short apparently my son is the only person alive who did not know that egg will damage the paint and needs to be cleaned off ASAP.   The paint is ruined now..  It is all over his hood....   I assume there is no magic fix after it has sat in the sun a few days.....   Anyone have any idea how hard or how much it would be to have the factory paint matched and his good painted????And Karma is a Bit*h !!  I hope the kids who did this somehow learn a valuable lesson !!My son is a full time college student and works full time as well. The vehicle is not fancy, but he worked hard for it and he is so upset that he didn't realize what a big deal it was and take care of it immediately.....    ughhhhh 4951

Did you try taking to a detail place and see if they can compound it out?If not I'm not sure I would spend a bunch of money on a cosmetic issue if I was a hard working college student....does not affect operability. 4951

A California autobody shop
suggests three fixes: spraying the egg with white vinegar, using
automotive clay and detailing spray, or using Automotive Goo Gone. The
tips makes sense, Roberts says.If you got the egg off before it caused serious staining and paint damage, scratches to the clear coat can likely be fixed by sanding with wet sandpaper and using a polish, Roberts says.You
could try to fix it yourself, but you have to be careful not to sand
too deeply. Roberts suggests going to a body shop to get it done
properly. And if you didn't get the egg in time?“The
issue is that most egging happens when people don't know and find it
later. This gives the egg a chance to eat into the clear coat,” Roberts
says. “If it is left on, the only way to fix it is to strip the areas
down to the metal.” 4951

most cars these days have a clear coat on top of the paint these days. he may be able to compound down the clear finish and then have an auto paint shop clearcoat the hood. if he isnt skilled, a detail place might be one to check to see about compounding compared to paying a body shop. 4951

Sounds like the paint is ruined. Best coarse of action:1. Find video if possible of who did it (plates).2. Sams or Costco trip.3. Buy the largest boxes of corn flakes possible. More the merrier.  5. Rainy night dump it in their front yard.Sun comes out it will dry hard as a rock and kill all the grass within hours. Also egg their cars for good measure and take the scent off the grass job.  4951
