Try Wal Mart or any FLAPS. They should have engine paint in rattle cans. The Wal Mart near my house has a large selection of Dupli-Color engine enamel.

That grey is hard to find. I think you can get it at jim carter truck parts.

The Chevy blue (not the GMC blue) is what I went with, and the only place I could find it locally in a rattle can was at NAPA.

check out Bill Hirsch auto, has a light grey paint, very close to the chevy grey.. Used on my 235, and looks great. Easy to spray,and looks great brushed on. Great customer service, reasonable pricing.
