Is your local dealership telling you they can't get it? If they're just being lazy I'll order some through mine and post it to you if you like.

For small jobs (spoilers etc.), as long as it's mixed right (& you get the right variant!), I find the Halfords paint excellent. Good quality paint & the nozzle is worth a couple of quid for the fan it produces.

Is this paint that you'd then hand over to a guy with a spraygun/booth/oven /talent or is it an aerosol thing that a bodger like me could wield after removing rust spots and applying primer?
Also... alpinweiss, thats what you'd call a flat colour isn't it? ie non-metallic?

You want a decent cellulose paint in an aerosol Miles. That ebay seller does them, but as I say above, the Halfords/Holts stuff is very good, you just need to watch them when they mix it.
Alpine White is a flat, yes. No lacquer needed.
