Looking for help finding the right paint to repaint the engine bay before dropping the rebuilt motor in. I was thinking just doing it myself with an aerosol but not sure if I'll be able to find the right color. The tag reads paint no. 34 to match the original which is a turquoise color (can still see it in the engine bay). Any leads on where to buy this paint/ if they sell this color in aerosol, and whether or not it needs to be a specific high heat since it is for the engine bay? Thanks.

Depending on where you live you can get a auto paint store to load a spray can with the correct color of paint. Since it is under the hood they will probably load the can with a base coat type of paint.
