Mkos, I have used Copper-Kote (available at NAPA) with excellent results on many intake gaskets. It's not a spray though, it comes in can like pvc cement with the same style applicator. Just brush it on the head wait a few for it to tack then drop the gaskets on.

I remember when that Permatex Ultra-Copper came in a can, and was labeled Gasket Sealant. Now it's just in a spray bottle, or you can get the Ultra-Copper Gasket Maker in a tube. Oh well.
