Gary,
There is a big parts supplier on the European mainland based in Germany, see www.limora.com.
They have engine paint on stock in cans and aerosol and I am sure they will ship engine paint to Switzerland. Will check today with them.
Otherwise the town of Zug in Switzerland, where your friend lives, is about an hour`s drive from the German border. 
Not all is easy in live, but this problem isn`t one.

I just got this email from the fellow who bought the 100M I restored in 1992.
With the engine out, he wants to repaint it, but apparently they can't buy
mixed paint from outside the country in Switzerland, so he needs a source or a
paint code. Can anyone help him out?
Gary

I bought your 100M in 97. I still own the car and enjoy every
minute of driving (and tinckering).
It still looks quite the same as when I purchaesd it from you but I made some
modifications (alternator, geared starter motor, electronic, programmable
ignition) for better usability (everything just bolt on and easily converted
to
the original specs though).
Just recently i noticed that the camshaft was worn so that I did not have the
same amount of lift on all valves. The engine is out now, waiting for a new
camshaft and while the car is partly dismatled it gets a few repairs in the
paintwork. You remember, the guys in canada did not save on paint and
assembled
some trimm before the paint was cured.
But it is all good.
I have a question regarding the color code for the BN2 engine. Would you
happen
to have this or know anybody who knows? I tried to buy paint from various
sources including Welch in England, but nowbody ships to Switzerland as paint
is
considered a hazzardous material. I didn't even get a paint chip. So a color
number from a manufacturer like Du Pont, or any of the large automotive or
industrial laquer manufacturers would help.
Many thanks and best regards,
Philip Krueger, Zug, Switzerland
