Exhibit 99 is the report of Arthur Andersen LLP relating to their audit of
Ameron's financial statements for the periods ended November 30, 1997 and 1998.


                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors, Ameron International
Corporation:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ameron
International Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of
November 30, 1998 and 1997, and the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the two
years in the period ended November 30, 1998.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.  We conducted our
audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.  Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our
opinion the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Ameron International
Corporation and subsidiaries as of November 30, 1998 and 1997, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended November 30, 1998, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                       REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Stockholders and the Board of Directors, Ameron International Corporation

We have audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, the
consolidated financial statements included in Ameron's Annual Report to
Stockholders incorporated by reference in this Form 10-K, and have issued our
report thereon dated January 21, 1999.  Our audits were made for the purpose
of forming an opinion on those statements taken as a whole.  The schedule
listed in Item 14(a)2 is the responsibility of the Company's management and
is presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and is not part of the basic financial statements.  This
schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly states in all
material respects, the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
