This was discussed on facebook a day or 2 ago. It will need a repaint.

Can you post some pictures of the paint? Usually the hard shell etches the paint on impact, and there is nothing you can do other than repaint.

I`ve experienced the same. Egg does some serious damage....

WOW, a repaint is needed due to eggs??? I got eggs on my car the other day cause it was my birthday, I know, not cool, I just detailed the whole car

Good thing it was parked under a carport on a cold night and only went through another cold morning before I was able to rinse it. I`ve never know that eggs are that bad to paint
`
Question here, does pouring milk on a car do that much damage as well?


OP, have you tried vinegar or goo gone?

So we have worked it down so that you can still see it but not feel it. So a repainted I guess is necessary. Thanks for all your replies. Now the question is can I convince the wife to have the pilot replaced.

It is not the actual liquid of the egg that etches the paint. (Please correct me if I am wrong) It could leave some staining like a bird dropping, but should be easy to clean up if wiped off ASAP. The one factor that does the most damage to the paint, is the actual shell of an egg. When it is thrown and makes contact with the paint, it fractures and cuts into the paint leaving deep scratches/chips that cuts through the clear coat and even base coat in some circumstances.

Here is a link with a couple pictures that show the imprint chipping of an egg: Imprint Chips - Chips in the paint caused by a thrown egg

Thanks for the explanation Ray!!

So the runs from the albumin left streaks that can not be buffed out. So I believe both shell and contents damage the paint.

Yes, if the egg is left on the paint for too long it will stain or etch, just like a bird bomb/dropping. Anything can harm the paint, eggs, in my book, are at the top of the list of most harmful things to touch paint.

Apparently the amino acids in the egg damage the paint.

Whoops, my bad!! Thanks for the explanation then, Jesse

Any insurance coverage against vandalism? Home owners policy or car insurance policy?

[driggett]

I am inquiring now. The cost Estimate for the Mazda is 1500, the pilot which needs a complete paint job is maacco 1000, a good place 4000.
