Looking at different forums, several members of assorted clubs are asking that very question.

The consensus is acrylic lacquer has been pretty well phased out now starting around 2003. A couple mentioned going to a store in Nevada or Arizona in person bringing it back but that was a few years ago. Hibernia was mentioned as possible place but others say there is a 25K fine for anyone shipping/receiving a VOC regulated product to Calif so that wasn't an option for them. I don't know if that's so but wouldn't be surprised.

Some mention the new Duplicolor formulations as working well but doubt we'd find our colors. Appears at quick glance, not too many options.

EDIT. Should have said phased out for us. Apparently there was an old formulation and a new lower VOC formula. A few said the newer one didn't work well applying over the older coats of anything.
