Good source for Ford grey engine paint?
I currently am working on cleaning up my engine before installing it. I need to repaint it and I need to find a good source of Ford grey paint. Regular grey paint is close but it's not close enough plus it's probably not heat resistant.
Are there any good paints available from auto parts stores?

Thanks. I'm familiar with Eastwood's products but I it's been a while so I forgot about them.
It's a good start. I'll do a search locally.

I believe the color is called BattleShip grey.
Not 100% sure but I think I remember reading that a long time ago.

Thanks.

Got mine in a spray bomb @ Advance Auto. Color was dead-on perfect match. It was also heat resistant, too.

Spray bomb? Is that just another name for a spray can?

No, it's like a grenade. You shut all the doors and windows in the garage, pull the pin, toss it in, and run! Minutes later, you have a beautiful paintjob. After that, you just have to throw in the clearcoat bomb and you're ready to go!!
