Sunshine Coast QLD / since 1989
Colour-matched refinish paint, delivered by van from our Warana counter
Local since 1989
Same Kawana site for over 35 years
Overview
Queensland Paint Supplies supplies automotive refinish paint to Mountain Creek panel shops, mobile spray painters, fleet operators and everyday vehicle owners, matched on-site by spectrophotometer rather than guessed from a factory code. Mountain Creek has no local paint counter, so most trade here runs through a stocked delivery van on its regular route from the Warana counter, with on-site spectrophotometer colour matching and in-store aerosol fills available for smaller touch-up jobs. Whether the job is a scraped driveway panel, a fleet van due for a respray, or a shop running several cars through the booth, the aim is getting the right basecoat, clear or primer out to Mountain Creek without the usual wait.
Mountain Creek sits inland from the Sunshine Coast's beachfront suburbs, built around larger blocks, established streets near Mountain Creek State High School, and the newer Brightwater estate. It's a suburb where most households run more than one car, and where tradies, mobile detailers and small operators work out of driveways and home garages rather than a shopfront. Automotive paint demand here looks less like beachfront salt-and-UV repair and more like everyday panel damage, resprays and fleet upkeep across a lot of vehicles parked close together.
Two motor vehicles per dwelling on average, 77.7% separate houses (more than half with four or more bedrooms), 46.7% couple families with children, and 64.1% of employed residents driving themselves to work: that's the 2021 Census picture of a suburb built for multiple vehicles. That combination means a lot of driveways with two or more cars, a share of weekend project vehicles, and a steady flow of everyday commuter traffic generating the kind of stone chips, scuffed bumpers and faded panels that come from regular car-park and school-run driving rather than any single cause.
None of that is served by a branch in the suburb. Queensland Paint Supplies' only physical counter is in Warana; Mountain Creek is covered by a stocked delivery van on a regular route, with the business advising a delivery day where a job falls outside that run. For a family needing one matched can of basecoat for a driveway respray, or a mobile operator needing paint delivered to a job rather than collected, that van run is the practical substitute for a local shopfront.
Getting the colour right without a factory code is the recurring problem. The business carries an on-site and van-mounted spectrophotometer that reads colour from the panel itself or from a supplied code, which matters for an owner who has lost the compliance plate reference or is matching an older respray rather than factory paint. For small jobs (a chipped door edge, a scraped bumper corner), custom aerosol cans are mixed and filled in-store to that matched colour, rather than selling a full litre for a touch-up.
Trade and fleet customers get a wider system choice: Concept Paints' NO MIX tintometric system for a fast single-visit match without bench mixing, suited to a mobile painter working from a Mountain Creek driveway, and Bernardo Ecenarro (BESA), a commercial-vehicle-focused Spanish system, for the work vans, trailers and small fleet panels that a car-dependent suburb like this one tends to generate. Customers citing the business more broadly point to its range and delivery as standout points, including one review noting "Great Range and Service and their delivery options are brilliant", feedback consistent with a Mountain Creek trade that runs through van delivery rather than a local counter.
Older vehicles, prior repairs, or a panel that's simply unmarked mean the compliance plate code is missing, worn off or doesn't match a non-factory respray. Without a reliable code, ordering paint by guesswork risks a visible colour mismatch on a vehicle that's otherwise straight. The spectrophotometer carried on-site and in the delivery van reads colour directly from the panel, not just the code, so a match can be produced without one.
A high share of Mountain Creek's workforce drives to work, and most households run multiple vehicles in and out of driveways and local car parks each day. A full litre of basecoat is overkill for a single chip, and an unmatched touch-up pen can look worse than the chip itself. Custom aerosol cans are mixed and filled in-store to the exact matched colour, sized for touch-up repair rather than a full panel.
Queensland Paint Supplies has one physical site, in Warana; it has never opened a Mountain Creek branch. A customer who assumes they can simply drop in locally may be caught out on timing if they don't know the van's delivery pattern. Mountain Creek is served by a stocked delivery van on a regular route from the Warana counter, with a delivery day confirmed for jobs outside that run.
A car-dependent suburb with this many driveways and commuter vehicles also supports small operators running vans, trailers and work utes. A paint system built for cars doesn't always hold up the same way on commercial panels under daily load and washdown. Bernardo Ecenarro (BESA), a Spanish system built around commercial-vehicle and fleet coatings, is stocked alongside the car-focused ranges for exactly this work.
Operators working from a driveway or a single job site don't carry a full tinting setup with them. A job held up waiting on paint is a job that can't be finished in one visit. Concept Paints' NO MIX tintometric system produces a match from stocked tints without bench mixing, supporting a single-visit job.
On-site and van-mounted colour matching from a paint code or a physical panel sample. Useful for Mountain Creek's older driveway vehicles and prior respray jobs where the factory code is missing or no longer reliable.
A tintometric system with 60+ stocked tints, producing a colour without bench mixing. Suited to mobile painters working single jobs out of Mountain Creek driveways who need a fast match without their own mixing bench.
Axalta's Cromax system, engineered for quick, accurate bodyshop application. A fit for panel shops handling the steady flow of everyday scrapes and chips a multi-vehicle suburb like Mountain Creek tends to generate.
A Spanish refinish system built for commercial vehicle, fleet, truck and trailer panels. Relevant to the small operators and trade vans running Mountain Creek's local routes, not just passenger cars.
Custom aerosol cans mixed and filled to a matched colour for touch-up and stone-chip repair. Sized for the single-chip, single-scrape jobs that come from everyday driveway and commuter use rather than a full respray.
Stocked, matched, and backed by experience
Queensland Paint Supplies has operated from the same Warana/Kawana-area site since 1989 and is locally owned and family-run, which matters for a Mountain Creek customer weighing up a supplier they've never visited in person against one with a long, checkable trading history on the Sunshine Coast. Counter staff bring decades of combined refinish experience, consistent with a business that has supplied the same trade for over three decades. Google reviewers citing the business point to its range and delivery as standout points, including one noting "Great Range and Service and their delivery options are brilliant", feedback that lines up with how a Mountain Creek order actually gets filled, off the van rather than over a local counter.

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 Mountain Creek, near Mountain Creek State High School and the Brightwater estate, it's east along Kawana Way then south into the estate to reach us. We keep the van stocked for the common jobs, so most Mountain Creek call-outs are sorted in a single visit. If it's easier to drop in, give us a call first.

No. The only physical counter is at 5 Main Drive, Warana (Mon-Fri, 7:30am-4pm). Mountain Creek is covered by a stocked delivery van on a regular route, with a delivery day confirmed for jobs outside that run. Come in through the Commerce Avenue entrance, or call 07 5493 2088 first.
The van runs a regular route across the service area including Mountain Creek; for a job outside that regular run, the team will advise the next available delivery day when you enquire. Gavin Pollock runs the van and carries a spectrophotometer and most day-to-day products, so a Mountain Creek workshop can usually be worked into the run.
Yes. The on-site and van-mounted spectrophotometer can read colour directly from the vehicle's panel as well as from a supplied paint code, which covers older vehicles and prior resprays without a usable code. A removable painted part, such as a fuel flap or mirror cap, also works if the car can't come in.
Custom aerosol cans are mixed and filled in-store to your matched colour; turnaround depends on the current counter and delivery queue, so confirm timing when you enquire rather than assuming same-day for every order. The can is filled from the same tinted base used for a full mix, so it holds your actual colour.
Yes. Alongside car-focused systems, Bernardo Ecenarro (BESA) is a Spanish refinish system built specifically for commercial vehicle, fleet, truck and trailer panels. BESA has built those coatings since 1963, and its URKIMIX PRO system covers patch, panel and overall repair, while Concept Paints and Cromax cover passenger cars from the same counter.
Yes. Custom aerosol cans are filled in-store to your exact matched colour, which is the usual option for a single chip or scrape rather than ordering a full litre of basecoat. Call ahead from Mountain Creek with the colour code or the vehicle details and it can be filled and waiting at the Warana counter.
