Uh, yup. Years ago I took a timing cover freshly sprayed with Moss Maroon
engine paint to a local auto paint supply store. They matched the color
and mixed up a pint of acrylic enamel for $16 including the color match
service. I use a small touch-up sprayer to paint the engine. That and a
can of enamel reducer was enough to paint several engines, some of them
several times over. It must be the equivalent of at least a dozen spray
cans, maybe more. Last year the pint can finally ran empty, and I had it
refilled for $20. Sorry, no mixing code.
