Custom paint in Buddina

Most custom paint is mixed while you wait or on the same day. We read the colour, mix it on the bench, spray a card and check it against your panel before you leave. A difficult match, a large batch, or a colour that needs a tinter ordered in takes longer, and we tell you the timeframe up front. If you are driving in from Buddina, call ahead with the vehicle and colour code and it can be mixed before you arrive.

Yes. We read the colour directly off the panel with a spectrophotometer, so a faded, repainted or hard-to-identify colour is matched to the car as it is now rather than to the factory code it left with. The formula is adjusted against a sprayout card until the card and the panel agree in daylight. Bring the vehicle, or a painted part you can remove such as a fuel flap or mirror cap.

Yes. We mix your colour and fill the aerosol in store, from the same tinted bases we use for a full mix, so the can holds your actual colour rather than the nearest thing off a rack. Custom aerosols suit stone chips, small repairs, wheels, trim and mobile touch-up work, and we fill 2K aerosols as well for a harder, more durable finish where the job needs it.

Yes. Trade accounts are the bulk of what we do, but the counter is open to anyone, and DIY customers are in every day for chips, scratches, weekend restorations and project parts. We recommend the right paint system for your job, explain the preparation and application step by step, and can write it down so you leave with a plan rather than a guess.

Automotive refinish systems from Concept Paints, Cromax and Bernardo Ecenarro, mixed to your colour, plus the primers, basecoats, clear coats, thinners and hardeners that go with them. On the industrial side we carry 2K polyurethanes, epoxies, enamels and acrylic lacquers, and the BESA industrial lines. Finixa abrasives, masking and spray consumables sit alongside, so the whole job comes from one counter.

Definitely. Tell us the surface, where the finished job will live, and the finish you want, and we will specify the primer, colour and clear that suit it. On the Sunshine Coast that usually means planning for salt air and hard UV, which affect the clear and primer choice more than the colour itself. We would rather spend ten minutes at the counter than have you buy the wrong tin.

Pricing depends on the paint system, how complex the colour is to match, and the quantity you need, so we quote each job rather than working off a flat rate. A single custom aerosol is a different job from a full basecoat and clear kit for a respray. Call the counter or send us the vehicle and colour details and we will give you an accurate price before you commit.

Yes. Panel shops, spray painters, detailers, signwriters and industrial clients across the Sunshine Coast buy from us on trade accounts, and Gavin runs the van with a spectrophotometer on board so colours can be read on site. If sending someone from Buddina to Warana costs you an hour of labour, call and we will work your shop into the run. The counter is open Monday to Friday, 7:30am to 4pm.
