Charlie, typically you only have to replace the sprinkler(s) that have been 
painted. Any local contractor could take a look at the existing sprinkler and 
find a current replacement. Some residential sprinklers and sizes have been 
discontinued but there are some allowances in the residential sprinkler 
standards for this situation.
