There are quite a few shades of "BRG". You might find something similar
by cross referencing your paint code # at an auto supply store. Your
best bet is to get a pint mixed up, which you can then apply by hand.

You might look for one of the "refillable aerosol" cans, as a first
spray gun. The paint is first thinned (with proper thinner/reducer for
the paint you are using), and the can is charged with compressed air.
They're simpler and cheaper than full blown spray gun setups. 

Has anyone tried the refillable spray cans that Harbor frieght is selling?
If the quality is any good at all, it would be nice to have one or more 
around when I want to spray just a little bit of a colour over the course
of a few days, without the hassle of cleaning the spray gun every time.
