                                POWER OF ATTORNEY

     Know all by these  presents,  that the undersigned  hereby  constitutes and
appoints each of Cynthia A. Iwasaki and Javier Solis,  signing singly,  his true
and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

     (1)  execute  for and on behalf of the  undersigned  Forms 3, 4 or 5 and in
          accordance  with Section 16(a) of the Securities  Exchange Act of 1934
          and the rules thereunder;

     (2)  do and perform  any and all acts for and on behalf of the  undersigned
          which may be necessary  or desirable to complete the  execution of any
          such Form 3, 4 or 5 and the timely filing of such form with the United
          States Securities and Exchange Commission and any other authority; and

     (3)  take any other action of any type  whatsoever in  connection  with the
          foregoing  which, in the opinion of such  attorney-in-fact,  may be of
          benefit  to, in the best  interest  of, or  legally  required  by, the
          undersigned,  it being understood that the documents  executed by such
          attorney-in-fact  on behalf of the undersigned  pursuant to this Power
          of  Attorney  shall be in such form and shall  contain  such terms and
          conditions as such attorney-in-fact may approve in his discretion.

     The undersigned hereby grants to each such  attorney-in-fact full power and
authority  to do and perform all and every act and thing  whatsoever  requisite,
necessary  and proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein  granted,  as fully to all intents and purposes as such  attorney-in-fact
might or could do if  personally  present,  with full power of  substitution  or
revocation,  hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney-in-fact,  or
his substitute or  substitutes,  shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue
of this  power of  attorney  and the  rights  and  powers  herein  granted.  The
undersigned  acknowledges  that the foregoing  attorneys-in-fact,  in serving in
such capacity at the request of the undersigned, are not assuming, nor is Ameron
International Corporation a Delaware corporation,  (the "Company") assuming, any
of  the  undersigned's  responsibilities  to  comply  with  Section  16  of  the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

This Power of Attorney shall remain in full force and effect until the
undersigned is no longer required to file Forms 3, 4, and 5 with respect to the
undersigned's holdings of and transactions in securities issued by the Company,
unless earlier revoked by the undersigned in a signed writing delivered to the
foregoing attorneys-in-fact.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has caused this Power of Attorney to be
executed as of this 8th day of April 2005.

                                    Signature:    /s/ Peter K. Barker
                                                  -------------------
