Our Gladstone store is an independent trade depot for Taubmans and Akzo Nobel.

Earles Paint Place has been operating in Gladstone for 17 years. Ken Earle manages his team consisting Ben Patchett a long term employee, Belinda Earle a fourth generation Earle and Sam Petzke.
 
Ken started with Earles Paint Place when he was 12 years old as a part time store person, and then moved to full time when he finished High School as an apprentice sign-writer.  Ken worked his way through the business to become manager.  Ken also repairs airless guns, helps with colour designs, measures and quotes. Ken is also an automotive enthusiast and loves to talk about restoring cars.
 
Ben has been with the shop nearly fourteen years and if Ken is not around Ben takes charge.  He was a trade painter before he started with the team at Earles, and has a vast knowledge in Akzo Nobel industrial and PPG automotive paints, Ben also has great knowledge about interior/exterior design.
 
Belinda Earle has been with the company for five years and in this time she has grown to love the paint industry.  Belinda's passion is colour designing and anything to do with household renovations or building a new home.  Belinda strives to do her best to please, taking care of all aspects of the home or office designs.
 
Sam Petzke has been with Earles now for just over a year and is picking up knowledge of the industry quickly. Sam is our delivery driver but the knowledge he has gained in the time he has been here is invaluable when serving customers.  Sam was a Brush hand before he started with Earles and was a trade Carpenter before that, these skills are great when showing customers how to do something.
 
So Come in and meet our friendly staff for help in all sorts of painting from arts and crafts, hobbies, household, automotive or industrial.  We will be sure to help.
 
We are the people in the know.
