Do they sell spray cans with just plain clear coat in them?
Or would I have to go back and complain to the body shop that did a half-@$$ job on the paint?
I would prefer the first option since I do not want to hand over my car for a "few days."

Any help is appreciated!

I would definitely recommend option #2. If you got a crappy paintjob (no pun intended), that could very possibly be the cause of the seagull feces having such a horrible effect on your clearcoat. It may mean an inconvenience to you--to give your car to them for a bit, but if you don't act now, they won't stand behind it. How long ago did you get your car painted?

If you're 21 or over, suggest that they provide you with a rental vehicle from Enterprise (the only company that will rent to under 25year-olds), since the clearcoat they applied didn't withstand normal every-day occurances. My car gets crapped on almost every day--and I don't even park under trees, roof overhangs, near fences, or under powerlines--and I've never had an adverse effect on the clearcoat w/ the bird crap.

Unless those seagulls are crapping raw egg-whites, bologna, or paint stripper, the birdcrap shouldn't have had a single effect on your paint--especially in that short of time.
