Any recomendations for supplier of rattle cans?

I'm looking for 1975 GMC "Crimson Red".
Alternatively I already have a 6 gallon air compressor for a nail gun. If I'm planning on doing the visible interior of a truck, (doors, rails under dash, tailgate etc etc) is it going to be more cost effective to get a spray gun kit?

I've got a link on my home PC to a place that sells GM colors in rattle cans, I'll post it up this weekend.

I went to Jerry's Paint store in Sacramento and they had the GM color book. I found the color for my 87 GMC and they made up a rattle can for about $17.

I recommend your nearest auto paint supply house.
