I wouldnt worry about the paint job to much.
Ive had my previous car get parts repainted 3 times (2 hit and runs and 1 accident) and I could never tell a difference (other then the new parts didnt have any dings on them). And the places I took the car were regular ol' body shops.
Like I said...don't stress...its what they do all day and every day lol
if you're not trippin', i'm not. your car is clean as ****.
i agree man. i am completely over-reacting. it's a part of my nature. oh well...
i'm not THAT crazy, i just know that it can be done right so i expect it to be. when i'm paying somebody 1k to do body work, it should be as good or better than OEM.
i think i'll be fine... it's just that this car is pretty much all i have.
yeah, that's what i mean... it just sucks. i don't really go crazy about inevitable things like rock chips and stuff like that... that's a part of driving. but my car was egged.

hehe. yeah, that's the problem. i think that most people that egg cars have no idea that it damages anything. they probably just think that it'll irritate the owner for having to wash it off.
the egg shell breaks and is so sharp that it WILL chip the paint. i've never seen a car egged that has no evidence. idk. i guess it's possible if you have a crazy ass paint job with 15 clear coats or something. haha.

I'm anal like that. I'd take my car back if the refinish isn't what it should be. I have a shop I use, I drive an hour to get to them, but whenever I need work done, I never have an issue.
I would've taken it back as well.

Good evening, I actually created an account to reply to this thread; sorry it's a little late, wish it could have been more help earlier on. A few weeks after I brought my car home, I was driving home from my girlfriends house at around 1AM and heard a large thwack sound. At first I had thought maybe I hit a bird or something, but after thinking in hindsight where the sound was generated from I realized it was probably an egg. I quickly turned around and tried to see where it may have came from. I went to a parking lot and checked it out; it was dark so it was hard to tell the damage. I then went and tried to find where it had been done, but couldn't find anything. I check my car again and realized there was a huge egg shaped grouping of paint chips, significantly worse than yours are in your pictures (note that I was going about 50 mph and the egg came towards me probably going around 30 or so, do the math.) I filed a police report and as usual, nothing happened. Anyway, if you lived in Utah, I'd be able to tell you where to go to get it fixed; the job done on my car was flawless, and they even removed my door and handle to avoid overspray and make it look stock. Honest to God, taking a look at it, you can't tell it had ever been egged.
On a side note, i noticed you were going to take it back, that's good. Any company should stand by their work, and do what is needed to make sure the customer is happy. Make sure they don't try to charge extra or anything, if they made any mistakes, it's up to them to fix it free of charge.
Some people just don't realize the damage they do when they do the things they do. Were I you, and that had happened at my house, I'd probably do what others are saying with the paintball gun, but I'd use my auto airsoft rifle; that thing kills. I have a great story about hitting my friend square in the wanker, but another time.

wow. paintballs and birdshot is one thing. headshots are another. Quite a serious result for the crime done, but I can't say that they're not partially at fault. This is America... if you're in anyone's backyard at 3am, you risk being shot. Don't be stupid...
it's nice to hear stories of bad things happening to other peoples cars. haha.
the shop actually did a good job, they just messed up some stuff in the process. they were a little careless.
holy s***...if you read the article, it said someone else had been shot the previous year as well..
hahahaha, controlo, it looks like you need a gat
