Default Chevy engine orange paint

I'm looking for Chevy orange engine paint in a 1 quart can, not spray paint. All Eastwood has is spray paint. One I want to use it for the gun and two I have a few nicks I want to touch up with a artist brush, not get aerosal overspray all over the engine bay. Please give me a link if you know who sells it.

If you must you can buy the spray can, turn it upside down, hold the button down until all the propellant is gone then open the can with the tool of your choice

Stop laughing... it works

In FAQ, one of Lars paint posts gives a formula for engine orange, to be used through a gun.

i always do this spray the paint in a paper cup.
let it sit for 5 mins or so.
use Qtip to apply to the chipped sections.
works great!
