you should wash it off immediately and see how bad the damage is

If you can post a pic, people might better be able to make a suggested course of action.

I'd start off first by waxing the egged section(you said you already washed it).

If there are bad chips, you could try touch-up paint, but I've heard that most people have bad results using that stuff. Maybe you could try using the touch-up paint in an inconspicuous area down low on the car to clean up some chip down there and see if you like your results... and if you do, you could use it on the part that was egged.

If you touch up the egged area and it looks real bad, you haven't really lost anything since you mentioned thinking about getting it repainted anyways... and you could always still have it repainted, which will mean your failed touch-up job will be... as they say in Back to the Future.... "erased from existence".

Sorry to hear.... I got egged to a year ago outside a restaurant. Jacked & chipped my hood so bad, I had to get a new hood. I tried using touch up paint but that made it worse.

Good luck...

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but I know of two friends with G's that been egged. Bottom line...our paint is weak sauce.
Both I know, paint was chipped and paint messed up. Buffing/waxing did nothing and both had to get those sections repainted. Chipped paint is chipped paint, it's done.

Call LE just to get report number, then call insurance, then get estimates.

G/L and sorry to hear this happened.

Take some pictures of it first so you have some "evidence" if anything is damaged. Then wash the car and make sure there aren't any dents or paint chips. If there are paint chips or dents take some pictures of them and put them on file somewhere. Print out some copies as well. Then if there is any damage call your insurance company/police and see what they have to say.
