Somerford sell it, or you could try Halfords.

Some of the better hardware stores might be able to mix you a suitable colour of radiator paint.

Whichever you choose, how about doing a "how to" on it ?

Somerford sell aerosol cans of BMC paint,degrease the complete engine,wire brushing all grease and dirt as you go and clean it down with thinners,I used a can of grey primers from Halfords and gave it a couple of coats,let it dry overnight and sprayed the engine green then.
Real Clubmans have a square nose.Seriously.

Just got a copy of the December MiniWorld mag through the door, it has a great guide on "how to" with photos on painting your mini engine, its well worth a read.
