The registry is T137.com . Lots of good stuff. Jens Butler is correct on the new number, the prefix was changed, as paint has over the years. Also, NAPA can work from that new paint code.
Get some cheap automotive primer, and a good gravity feed spray gun and practice, use around 18-20 pounds air prssure to start, short hose, as the hose will "swell" with pressure and give you a "surge" at start up of spraying. In practicing, try to find curved and flat pieces of metal so you can get used to painting weird surfaces to eliminate (hopefully!) runs. An old water heater works well for curved, as an example. A scrap of sheet metal folded into a "V", and spray into the valley is another good practice piece.
Last of all, keep all paints and thinners capped as soon as pouring. Evaporation is quick on these items, as well as its good safety. You will find paint materials are expensive, and you will save by his practice.
Good luck, and have fun!
