I believe it is automotive paint that has to be water based. Equipment paint is still fine. Brian Asbury has the Cdn olive drab and the semi gloss Cdn olive. If you add about 25% red oxide nprimer to the Cdn olive drab, you will get just about the perfect CMP colour: that magic shade that looks Brown, no green, no brown...

I bring the Gillespie stuff thru customs all the time and have never had an issue yet. Don't use the term automotive paint.

I remember talking to one of the vendors at the MVPA convention a few years back, and after our discussion, he was going to delete the word "vehicle" from his cans as he would not be able to export to Canada.
