I was also considering getting some paint from that same place but they won't ship to Canada. Partsource sells it relabled here for $250 vs the $76 that trinity charges.

Thanks for the mention of the Trinity site Allen.  Here is a link to the acrylic kits.  I see some possibilities for the SX/4 that are close to the original color.  I need to study it some more.
