Don,
There's an automotive paint (body & fender shop) supplier up the road
from me. In the past, I've found stuff there that I couldn't find
anywhere else. I'll give them a call for you, Monday.
One day while I was there, I heard Baby Snakes playing at the will-call
counter. (Obligitory Frank Zappa content) ;)
