Hi everyone,
I had the opportunity to try the Diamond FX product this last
weekend. The distributor, Elena Bonifaz, for the Western region worked with me
at the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in Temecula, CA this last Sunday,
wonderful lady by the way. I was really interested in the neon colors as the
Wolfe brand is very transparent. The Diamond brand is a lot more intense in
color and covers in one brush stroke as opposed to the other. Yes it's the
same manufacture making the products, but each company can request changes to
their product. It just so happens that Diamond is working on getting us a
better product(s) at better prices. If you have questions, just contact the
company!!! www.diamondfx.biz
In regard to the Wolfe boys, I had the amazing opportunity to attend
one of their workshops a few months ago and these two talented men conducted
themselves as true professionals and with great integrity. They have a lot
going on with their legal issues, most of which we are not privy to, but what I
do know is that there are times when you let another company in to finance your
dreams and goals for your existing company you take a huge chance that you will
lose control of the existing company and pushed out little by little. I worked
for a great company here in California and saw it happen first hand. It's
about greed and power. No one wins in these situations. These two guys walked
away from a company bearing their name to maintain their professional
credibility and personal integrity. They do not speak ill of the other parties
and plan on continuing being the amazing artists and human beings that they
are. Of course they are not happy about the situation, who wouldn't be, but
please do not cast stones when you don't have all the info, which we have
really no business wanting/needing to know.
Buy the products you feel most comfortable with and keep on keeping
on! I'm sure Brian and Nick would tell you the same!

Wait a minute: why its so populair in Europe???????
We can't buy Wolf anymore, thats why, The company who is pushing
Diamont FX is not allowing any Wolf on the market anymore. He can do
that because he also is the importer of Wolf.He supported Nick and
Brian financialy in bringing Diamont FX on the market here, even went
with them to China. And everybody who has been in Seeboden will have
seen the posters saying Diamont FX formaly Wolf whit their work
(paintings) right beside it.
So do not be fooled by what is going on here. Diamont FX is way
cheaper over here and is sold of even on the websites as Diamont FX
formaly known as Wolf FX. The Wolf brothers are, atleast here,
strongly connected to the name diamont FX.
I do see and feel a difference in the two paints and I have gotten al
my diamont FX out of my kit because of it and will not buy it anymore,
it covers badly, you have to use a lot to make it cover without
blotches.Atleast some of the colors like blue.
I have been working for several companys throughout the years who
sell their product to other brands ( like Mars and a coekiecompany
called Jamin) and they never use excactly the same ingredients. Simply
because that specific mixure of ingrediences is sold to Wolf . No two
brands of the same factory under different names will ever be excactly
the same, no matter what they say.
