I don't want to know what you did to deserve an egg being thrown at you.

It was a Halloween night, I'm confident it was just some kids hitting cars in the neigborhood...

With touch-up paint it can be done but is very difficult. I would say most people don't have the patience or the skills to create results that look like nothing ever happened and that's what everyone's expectations are, a perfect looking finish.
There are other systems besides little bottles of touch-up paint that may work better such as the Dr. Color Chip system but I have not seen anyone use any system to fix Imprint Chips from a thrown egg.
I've fixed my own Imprint Chips on a 1969 Blazer CST that I owned a number of years ago and it involved carefully filling in the imprint chips with touch-up paint then sanding the paint smooth and then by hand and with a rotary buffer removing the sanding marks and restoring a high gloss finish. The paint on my Blazer was single stage enamel, Hugger Orange to be exact.

***Update***
Found a very good picture of Egg Imprint Chips so I added it to this thread.
These types of below surface defects are usually very hard to fix with touch-up paint. This would be a good place for the Dr. Color Chip System.

Does it really work though? Like on body panels that have been "blasted" repeatedly with small bits of gravel and such being flung up from the tires when off-roading?
I see swirls everywhere!!!
