    Go to www.rmpaint.net . go to color formulations, select Diamont, Buick and type in color. It should give you color ratios.

    That R-M site is for the European R-M which is not completely the same as the North American R-M. They have some toners which we can't get here and so many of their formulas are different.
    An R-M formula will do you no good anyway for another brand of paint, as all paint manufacturers have their own specific toners which vary greatly in color and strength. So all of them use entirely different formulas.
    Your Napa store should also be able to cross another paint brands number into theirs. Or I can get you a formula tomorrow from our local Napa store.
