Default Fog lamp paint

I've been looking for yellow Duplicolor Metalcast paint in vain up here in the land of the Frozen North so I can paint my fogs yellow. I just got a polite response from Duplicolor informing me that Metalcast is no longer available in Canada
Anybody south of the border know of somewhere to grab a can and help a guy out?
Thanks in advance.

Bummer. Canada customs must hate paint :

Some of the parts in your shopping cart are no longer available or can only be shipped via ground shipping to the Contiguous 48 United States. Please remove them from your shopping cart or change your shipping location.
The part SHW-MC202 cannot be shipped to your billing/shipping location at this time.

I got a similar result from another US on-line retailer - they let you get all the way to a PayPal checkout & then let you down.
I don't get it - it's not like it's a prime ingredient for a bomb recipe, though I suppose there may be some concerns shipping pressurized containers.

Good news: You can buy it off Amazon. Bad news: Shipping is $27.00

I definitely think its because there needs to be special packaging/regulations etc

Thanks guys. I've got a local retailer - art supply store - looking into ordering Krylon Stained Glass spray for me, and there is a brushable paint available too.
Is there anybody nearby in the US planning on a visit to Canada anytime soon that would be willing to bring a can or two of Metalcast over for me?

Yep, some couriers don't like transporting chemicals/paints/fluids...
That said, I just received two cans of CD-2 Engine Detailer last week via UPS...go figure.

Actually, I have a friend in Hamilton that is going to a Jeep rally in Pennsylvania in a few weeks and she said she'd be willing to bring some back over the border for you if you can wait

That's great! Please thank her for the offer. I can wait if I have to - it's looking like I'm not going to be able to find any around here at all. PM coming your way...
