BASF adds three new single-line distribution locations

Reno Paint Mart joined the BASF ColorSource community in Nevada, and will carry R-M Diamont and LIMCO Supreme products. Reno Paint Mart is a multi-store organization that offers industrial, automotive, interior and exterior house paint to customers. As part of the ColorSource community, Reno Paint part is expanding into the refinish business with BASF’s paint systems.

The BASF brands they carry include R-M Diamont, R-M Onyx HD, LIMCO Supreme Plus and LIMCO Value-Line products.
