I'm not sure if they ship to Canada, but I've had good luck with both Eastwood and PaintForCars. Good quality automotive paint at reasonable prices.

Lot less work to do it properly with a spray gun. Like mentioned already, if you want to do a real paint job later, you have to sand all that brushed on paint completely off. If theres any stress cracks at all, the oil base paint will soak into the part making it nearly impossible to paint with real paint. So if you brush or roll it, your usually stuck with what you get for life.

Yea, five years down the road from rolling mine on, I'm still happy how it turned out. I will admit a bit of guilt for using an oil based paint. When I got mine it had the typical 80s peeling off/faded paint and wanted that gone quick. Now that I'm more financially secure, I'd spring for the equipment and automotive paint. Also...the wetsanding was a huge PITA.
