Where can I buy 455 Olds metallic blue paint?

I went to NAPA today, and they didn't have it and couldn't get it... I thought I read somewhere that they had it? I tried Advance Auto Parts a couple days before and they didn't have it either.

Are there any local sources (non-mail order)? If not, which mail order places have it? I would prefer a rattle can since I don't have a spray gun. Thanks. Tom.

For the Olds blue paint you should also consider Bill Hirsch. A guy I know just shot a cast iron intake manifold with Olds Blue (just last week) and I think he ordered it from Fusick. It was WAY TOO DARK...this has been an ongoing problem with some of the Olds blue engine paints. I'm not talking about just a slightly different shade of blue....this stuff was WAY OFF in terms of being the right color.

Bill Hirsch sells a real nice line of high-solids enamel engine paints....spray can or in liquid form (quart or pint I assume) if you want to spray it out of a spray gun. A buddy of mine recently used some of this and it looked pretty nice on his '71 442 motor.
