You can get acrylic spray cans at paint or craft stores, but probably not at model stores. Tamiya spray cans are lacquers.

I'm not 100% positive, but I believe Games Workshop's spray paints are acrylic. They are fast drying and readily accept acrylics. They do stink a bit, but if you spray outside or using a mask it doesn't get too bad. They have a white and black spray primer, along with several colors (I can name blue, red and tan off the top of my head).

I do know that if someone doesn't want to pay the $8 a can that GW charges, I've been told to get Krylon's sandable spray and use that as a primer. Again, I'm not sure that it's acrylic but I think I've been told it is.

There are several types of acrylics out there. I am not a chemist, but I believe that the part that carries the pigment is the acrylic. There are water based acrylics, Acrylic enamels, and acrylic laquers. Most of the spray acrylics are acrylic laquer, or Acrylic Enamels (AE) paints. They are flammable, and stink. I still have not seen a safe spray paint. Of all of the spray products I have used, hobby enamels are the least objectionable, odorwise. I have heard from people in the automotive segment, that we are still about five to ten years away from canned water or alcohol based paints, on a regular basis, and that they will not flow out the same was that laquers do.
