When I do the engine swap on my '86 Blazer I want to paint the engine compartment black. Is there a place where I could buy spray paint in bulk?
Thanks

shouldn't need to unless you just wanna have a ton of the stuf i'd say three can would be plenty...... if however you do want ton's of it you'd probably have to buy a case could be 10-20 cans i dunno but you'd need togot to like sams or somewhere like that that sells stuff closer to wholesale. 
parts stores
We used to sell it by the case if requested at the auto parts / body supply places I worked at...but it would probably be cheaper at a Wal-Mart or other big box store..we gave a 10% discount on anything bought by the case,but the parts stores cant buy or resell it as cheap as the bigger stores...personally,I'd buy a quart of gloss black Rustoleum or similar enamel and a cheap spray gun-
..one "bargain outlet" type store nearby sells touch up and regular spray guns for less than 20 bucks--China made,but good enough for a paint job or two...better off for primer coats than finish work though,unless your not too fussy about a smooth finish...they work pretty good for the price...
-I've seen those Wagner "Power Painter" electric "buzz box" sprayers do a decent job on frames and underhood jobs where a showroom finish is not required..they also sell "Pre-Val" sprayers and similar units you can pour the paint in and pressurize it with disposable cartidges-,
,or pump up with a compressor...paint in liquid form goes further,lasts longer,and prevents rust longer than spray paint in most cases...much cheaper too!--a quart will probably do ALL the underhood areas for about 6-10 bucks(Rustoleum)--or at least 3-4 cans of spray paint at 3-5 bucks each..
