How We Paint Gold Coast began

Every brushstroke here traces back to one bloke who fell in love with the trade early. Trent Delaney picked up his first paintbrush professionally at 19, and more than 24 years later he is still just as hooked. Painting runs in the family, so for Trent it was never just a job, it was the family trade done properly.  

Before the Gold Coast, Trent spent a decade running his own busy painting company in Wagga Wagga with a team of eight. In 2017 he made the move north, chasing the lifestyle, the weather and the lure of the coast. A year later, in 2018, We Paint Gold Coast was born in Burleigh Heads.  

Then came the part Trent is proudest of. Coming out of COVID, he brought in a business coach, backed himself, and grew the business four times over in just two years, welcoming another five to six painters into the crew. What started as one painter with a ladder is now a full in-house team painting some of the best homes and biggest commercial jobs on the coast.  

And through all of it, one thing has not changed. Trent still quotes every job himself, so you meet the owner of the business face to face before you commit to having your place painted.

What is it actually like to work with us?

Here is something we are quietly proud of. When our clients leave a review, they almost always talk about the team and the experience before they mention the paint. That tells us we are getting the important part right.  

We lead with the things that make a job stress-free: clear communication, tidy work, respect for your home or site, and the patience to help you land on a colour you will love for years. If something ever crops up on a job, you will hear from us straight away. No surprises, no hidden costs, and no chasing us for an answer.  

We are also unapologetically prep-led. We will not paint over mud wasps, bird droppings or contamination just to get a job out the door. Preparation is where a paint job is won or lost, and it is the standard we hold on every project, whether anyone is watching or not.

Meet the team behind We Paint Gold Coast

Our team is our biggest asset, and we celebrate them rather than hide them behind a logo. Everyone who turns up to your job is a qualified, in-house painter, with the same leading hands on site from start to finish. No subbies, no rotating faces, no guesswork.

Trent Delaney

Director

Trent is the heart and the hands of the business. Qualified at 19 and now sitting on more than 24 years in the trade, he brings family painting heritage, a decade of running his own company down in Wagga, and a genuine love of teaching the team his tricks. He quotes every job personally, so the person planning your project is the same person who sets the standard.

Dannikah Woods

Operations Manager

Dannikah is the engine room of We Paint Gold Coast. As Operations Manager she oversees the daily run sheet, project coordination, client relations and team management, keeping residential and commercial projects flowing smoothly across South East Queensland. Known for her strong organisational skills, sharp attention to detail and a customer-focused approach, she holds every job to the team’s highest standard, from first quote through to final walk-through.

Sammy

Supervisor

G’day, meet Sammy. Seventeen years in the trade and still going strong, this fella has well and truly earned his stripes. He cut his teeth doing two years of hard yakka with Dynacoat, criss-crossing Australia knocking over commercial jobs, before pulling up with the We Paint Gold Coast crew coming up nine years ago and grafting his way up to Supervisor. Spraying, roof restoration, new builds, repaints, texturing: you name it, and if it’s got anything to do with painting, Sammy’s your man. On the tools or running the show, he gets the job done properly and doesn’t muck about.

Rafael Tinoco Vilaca

Leading Hand Painter

Rafael brings six years in the trade to We Paint Gold Coast, having worked his way up from apprentice to supervisor and now running jobs from start to finish. A licensed painter, he has experience across every corner of the painting business, and working on new builds is well and truly his cup of tea. On the tools or steering a site, he brings the same steady, do-it-properly approach to every job.

Bryce McInally

Leading Hand Painter

Bryce brings seven years of trade-qualified painting experience to the team, with work spanning Brisbane, the Gold Coast and across New South Wales. He started his apprenticeship in 2019, worked for a small business on new housing estates, moved across to commercial high-rise work, and now puts his hand to high-end new homes with the We Paint Gold Coast crew. As Leading Hand Painter, his specialty is spray work on gloss framework and the patient art of staining timbers, with prep work where he takes the most pride.

Daniel Yeowart

Painter

Daniel is now in his sixth year on the tools and has built his name on high-end residential new builds right across the Gold Coast and Northern Rivers. As a Painter with the We Paint Gold Coast crew, he is trained up on the spray gun and brings the clean, considered finish that brand new homes call for. Cert III qualified in Painting and Decorating, he is the kind of hand who takes pride in getting it right the first time.

Cyana Ferguson

Painter

Cyana is one of the proud women in the trade, and the kind of painter you want on the precision work. She picked up a brush five years ago after her boyfriend (a painter himself) nudged her toward the trade, and she has not looked back. She finished her Cert III in Painting and Decorating in 2024 and was a finalist for Apprentice of the Year in both 2022 and 2024, no small feat.

The values behind every job

We aim to exceed what you expected, not just tick a box. 

We never cut corners and never paint over contamination. Good prep is the whole game.

The experience of working with us matters as much as the result, and our reviews back that up.

Open and upfront from the first quote to the final walk-through, especially if something changes.

Our painters are the business, so we back them, train them and keep them for the long haul.

We take on work experience students and apprentices, helping bring through the next wave of qualified painters.

Why does painting on the Gold Coast take local know-How?

Painting on the Gold Coast is its own challenge, and we have spent years learning it. Salt air, high humidity, harsh UV and storm season all punish the wrong paint system, so we know which products last on the coast and which ones fail, and we prep, apply and finish accordingly.  

Working out of our Burleigh Heads HQ, we paint homes and buildings right across the coast, from Tugun and Currumbin up through Palm Beach, Burleigh, Miami and Mermaid, out to Hope Island and beyond. If we could paint Burleigh and only Burleigh forever, we just might. This is home, and it shows in the care we take.

What makes We Paint Gold Coast a safe choice?

We are a QBCC and NSW Fair Trading licensed, fully insured and family-run team of qualified, in-house Gold Coast painters, and we back that warm, local feel with the credentials that matter when you are trusting someone with your home or building.

Our crew runs serious gear to get a cleaner, better result: Festool sanders with dust-free extraction, Graco airless spray systems, Husqvarna grinders with HEPA extraction for floor prep, a fully kitted pressure-washing vehicle, and licensed cherry pickers and scissor lifts for multi-storey access. We work with trusted brands including Wattyl, our number one for prep, along with Dulux and Resene, and we offer low-VOC and same-day occupancy options for sensitive households.

How we support the local community

We are a Gold Coast business through and through, so we put our hand up for the place that backs us. We sponsor small local groups where we can, and we open our doors to work experience students from local trade schools, including St Joseph’s. We recently saw an apprentice through their training, with another apprentice set to join us in the coming months. Bringing the next generation of qualified painters through the ranks is something we genuinely love doing.

About We Paint Gold Coast FAQs

Who is We Paint Gold Coast?

We Paint Gold Coast is a family run, owner-led painting company based in Burleigh Heads, serving the Gold Coast since 2018. We are a full team of qualified, in-house painters handling residential, commercial, body corporate and government work, led by director Trent Delaney. Customer service and thorough preparation sit at the heart of everything we do.

Who owns and runs We Paint Gold Coast?

The business is owned and led by director Trent Delaney, a qualified painter since the age of 19 with more than 24 years in the trade and family painting heritage. Trent ran his own painting company in Wagga Wagga for a decade before moving to the Gold Coast, and he still personally quotes every job we take on.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. We Paint Gold Coast is QBCC licensed, and also holds NSW Fair Trading contractor licence No. 169899C for work across the border, and carries $20M public liability insurance, along with white card and blue card cover. These credentials mean your project is handled by a properly licensed, properly insured team, which matters just as much on a family home as it does on a large commercial or body corporate site.

Do you use subcontractors?

No. Every painter on your job is a qualified, in-house member of our team, and you will see the same leading hands on site from start to finish. Keeping the crew in-house is how we hold a consistent standard, protect our culture, and make sure the people who quote your job are the people who deliver it.

Where are you based and what areas do you cover?

We are based in Burleigh Heads and paint right across the Gold Coast. For residential work we will travel as far north as Brisbane, as far south as Byron Bay and as far west as Mount Tamborine when the job is right. For commercial projects we reach further again, including North Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast, the Tweed region and Ipswich.

Do you really do epoxy flooring in-house?

Yes. Unlike most painting companies that contract epoxy work out, we handle epoxy flooring with our own team and equipment. That means one accountable crew, one consistent standard and a smoother experience for you, whether you need a garage floor, a warehouse or a commercial space coated.

Can I get a quote directly with the director?

Yes, and we would not have it any other way. Trent personally quotes every job, so you deal with the person who sets the standard from the very first conversation. Quotes are free and no-obligation, with detailed pricing and no hidden surprises.
