As part of the ColorSource community, Reno Paint part is expanding into the refinish business with BASF’s paint systems.

Viva Liz Inc. joined ColorSource with locations in Miami, Cutler Bay and Opa Locka to serve the South Florida market. The BASF brands they carry include R-M Diamont, R-M Onyx HD, LIMCO Supreme Plus and LIMCO Value-Line products.

The third addition is Auto & Marine Finishes in Sarasota, Fla., which will carry Glasurit 55 Line, R-M Diamont, LIMCO Supreme and LIMCO Value-Line products. Auto & Marine Finishes has a highly skilled bilingual sales team, and well-respected technical representatives in the Sarasota market, according to BASF.

“BASF’s long-lasting reputation for quality products is undeniable compared to other brands,” said Auto & Marine Finishes co-owner Chris McDevitt.

Shefali Cromer, BASF ColorSource senior manager, added: “With these new partnerships, BASF’s ColorSource customers further benefit from best-in-class technical service, first-to-market BASF products and consultative sales representatives.”
