Last time I heard, http://www.summitracing.com had it. You need to look for VHT Wrinkle paint or something of the same type.

I saw some at OReily's when I bought my black paint.
Probably different in different areas though (I think they are privately owned).

I would recommend powder coating. The paint is ok but will mess up easily especially if anything is spilt on it. With a powder coat you'll have to throw rocks at it to scratch it. Usually perfomance shops or hot rod shops can do it and it runs around 45 to 65 to do a valve cover in this area.
