Your 20 year old Beaver looks gorgeous!

Mike Tomas:
I am updating this thread with some new information about BCS Source for Diamont paint.

I just got off the phone with BCS because the paint shop that I am currently working with in Phoenix, Az was having trouble getting the correct paint code match. The  had NO Problem finding Diamont, In fact got a perfect color match to my Green middle stripe which is a far cry from the Gold base we are looking for.

Yes, Diamont is still Available through BASF Dealers ONLY. BASF purchased Diamont some time ago and according to BCS Today (June 2019) the numbers on our cabinet doors should all easily point to the colors we are looking for.

I didn't get a Contact name from BCS, but did get THEIR local Source for paint in Bend, Or.

Industrial Finishes
420 NE Butler Market Rd. #1, Bend OR. 97701
(541) 388-7372

Now, with all that said and done, Let's just hope the Phoenix Collision facility I have chosen can pull off the perfect subterfuge magic act with the information I just provided above. Let's additionally respect those steadfast trees who fearlessly stand their ground from an encroaching Beaver...

The most common comments I received in the past is that the paint manufacturer "Diamont" was no longer in business.

As mentioned, BASF is the company, and  R-M is the paint "line" or brand, and  Diamont is the "paint system". I just bought 3 pints of Diamont last weekend for my front cap re-painting project.
This is considered a very high-quality paint (and it's expensive).

When I was looking for paint I first contacted BCS, they put me in contact with Industrial Finishes, which told me it would be much cheaper to just buy from my local BASF distributor.

Your paint colors are different (as you have a green in your) but for anyone with the Brown (Sienna) paint scheme, here are the color mix sheets.

Mike Tomas,
Space Age in Mesa AZ was able to supply me with Diamont paint with no problems a couple of years ago. Have you tried them?

Not to hijack, but, I have to put in a plug for the body shop that has come to the aid of my Beaver on several occasions (self-inflicted and otherwise). In Sacramento Ca its Rehorn RV Repair. Perfect paint matching and quality work all around.
