Overview
Queensland Paint Supplies supplies colour-matched automotive refinish paint to panel shops, mobile spray painters, fleet operators and vehicle owners around Minyama, near the Mooloolah River. There is no local counter in Minyama itself; every order is colour-matched and mixed at the Warana counter, then delivered by van or collected directly. Minyama runs more vehicles per household than the Queensland average and carries higher-than-typical mortgage repayments, which points to households more likely to invest in getting the colour, clear and primer combination right the first time rather than chasing the cheapest tin. Order ahead for van delivery, or call to arrange counter pickup at Warana.
A colour-matched respray only pays off if the paint system underneath is right for the vehicle and the conditions it sits in. Queensland Paint Supplies stocks the trade-grade refinish systems Minyama panel shops, mobile painters and vehicle owners need, from tintable basecoats to the clear and primer combinations best suited to a vehicle that spends its life near the Mooloolah River.
Minyama sits close to Minyama Island and the Mooloolah River canal system, and the suburb's own household profile suggests a customer base worth paying attention to: a median age of 53, an average of two motor vehicles per dwelling, and monthly mortgage repayments running above the Queensland median. None of that confirms waterfront frontage or boat ownership on its own, but taken together it points to an established, higher-spending household that is more likely to own a second vehicle (or a boat alongside the car) and more likely to want a repair done properly than cheaply.
That matters for refinish work specifically. Queensland Paint Supplies' own Minyama pages already flag salt air, humidity and UV as factors that change which primer and clearcoat make sense on the Sunshine Coast, more than colour choice alone. What those pages do not cover is the trade side of that problem: panel shops and mobile painters still need the right basecoat system, a clear that will hold up under harder UV, and a colour match that is correct the first time, because redoing a panel on a near-new or well-kept vehicle is expensive and visible.
Queensland Paint Supplies is set up for that job, not just for touch-up aerosols. The range covers Concept Paints' NO MIX and low-VOC NO MIX LV tinting systems, Cromax (Axalta) for bodyshop throughput, and the Bernardo Ecenarro (BESA) system positioned for fleet, truck and trailer panel work. Colour matching is done on-site and in-van with a spectrophotometer, reading the actual panel rather than relying on a faded or missing factory code, with same-day matching available. Custom aerosol cans are also mixed and filled in-store, for the smaller stone-chip and touch-up jobs that do not justify a full tin.
There is no Queensland Paint Supplies branch in Minyama. The Warana counter is the only physical site, and everything reaching Minyama goes by van delivery or direct pickup. For a suburb with this vehicle and boat ownership profile, that trade-off is worth it: the business has been colour-matching and supplying refinish paint from the same Warana-area site for more than 35 years, which is the kind of local tenure that matters more than a branch on every street.
Factory codes fade, go missing from older panels, or no longer match after earlier repairs or resprays. A mismatched panel is visible immediately and can affect resale value on a well-kept or higher-value vehicle. On-site and in-van spectrophotometer matching reads the actual panel colour, with same-day matching available rather than relying on the code alone.
Salt air, humidity and UV exposure on the coast affect how clearcoats and primers hold up over time, more than colour choice does. The wrong combination can mean premature clear failure, chalking or oxidation well before the vehicle is otherwise due for a repaint. Staff with decades of combined refinish experience advise on primer and clear selection for the job, not just the colour.
The business operates from a single physical site at Warana and reaches the rest of the Sunshine Coast by van delivery. Panel shops and mobile painters need to know how and when paint will actually reach them before they commit a job. Orders are matched and mixed at Warana, then delivered by van on the regular service run or available for direct counter pickup.
Minor panel damage is common on daily-driven vehicles, and buying bulk paint for a single chip is wasteful. DIY owners and smaller jobs need an exact colour match at a scale that suits the repair. Custom aerosol cans are mixed and filled in-store to the matched colour, sized for touch-up and stone-chip repair.
Panels and trailers are often repaired months or years apart, by different painters, from different paint batches. An inconsistent fleet colour looks unprofessional and undermines a uniform brand presentation. The Bernardo Ecenarro (BESA) system is stocked specifically for fleet, truck and trailer panel work, paired with spectrophotometer matching for consistency job to job.
Tintable basecoat systems with a low-VOC NO MIX LV option for painters working to tighter environmental requirements. Matched and mixed at Warana before going out on the van run or being held for pickup, so Minyama jobs do not need a local counter to get the right tint.
A bodyshop-productivity refinish system used for everyday panel and respray work. A practical choice for panel shops working through routine resprays on Minyama's daily-driven fleet of family and commuter vehicles.
A refinish system positioned for fleet, truck and trailer panel work. Suited to commercial operators running vehicles and trailers through Minyama and the wider Kawana/Warana area who need consistent colour across jobs done at different times.
On-site and in-van colour matching that reads the actual panel, with same-day matching available. Useful when a factory colour code has faded or gone missing on a well-kept but ageing vehicle, a common scenario in a suburb with Minyama's higher median age.
Touch-up and stone-chip aerosols mixed and filled in-store to the matched colour. A low-cost option for Minyama DIY owners wanting to fix a single chip or scuff without buying a full tin.
2K polyurethanes, epoxies, enamels and lacquers, alongside automotive detailing and polishing products. Available through the same van delivery run that supplies Minyama's automotive paint orders, so trade and marine-adjacent maintenance jobs can be ordered together.

Getting here
Our workshop is at 5 Main Drive, Warana, in the Warana industrial area, on the corner of Main Drive and Commerce Avenue. From Minyama, near Minyama Island and the Mooloolah canal system, it's straight down Nicklin Way past the Kawana turn to reach us. We keep the van stocked for the common jobs, so most Minyama call-outs are sorted in a single visit. If it's easier to drop in, give us a call first.
Queensland Paint SuppliesQuestions
No. Queensland Paint Supplies operates from a single counter at 5 Main Drive, Warana. Minyama is served by van delivery on the regular route or by collecting your order directly from the Warana counter. The counter is open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 4pm, with the entrance off Commerce Avenue.
Yes. Colour matching is done on-site and in-van with a spectrophotometer, which reads the actual panel colour rather than relying on a code that may have faded or gone missing. Same-day matching is available. The formula is checked against a sprayout card in daylight before you take it away.
Salt air, humidity and UV exposure on the Sunshine Coast can affect how a clearcoat and primer hold up over time, more than it affects colour choice. Staff can advise on the right primer and clear combination for the job rather than defaulting to a standard spec.
Yes. The Bernardo Ecenarro (BESA) system is stocked specifically for fleet, truck and trailer panel work, and can be matched consistently across vehicles repaired at different times. BESA has made commercial vehicle coatings since 1963, and its URKIMIX PRO tintometric system covers patch, panel and overall repair, so a fleet can stay on one colour base.
Yes. Custom aerosol cans are mixed and filled in-store to your matched colour, sized for touch-up and stone-chip repairs rather than a full respray. The can is filled from the same tinted base used for a full mix. Call ahead from Minyama with the colour code or vehicle details and it can be ready at the Warana counter.
Since 1989, from the same Warana-area site for more than 35 years. The business is locally owned and family-operated, with a 4.9 out of 5 average from 69 Google reviews. The branch first opened on Commerce Avenue in October 1989 and is now owned by Cory and Candice.

Order ahead for van delivery to Minyama, or call the Warana counter to arrange a colour match and pickup. Getting the clear, primer and colour right the first time matters more on a vehicle worth protecting than on a quick, cheap respray.
