About Some of Our Team

Clayton Coughlan

 Director

Born and raised in Brisbane, Clayton began his working life, aged 15, as a part time milkman – he delivered milk in the early mornings before heading off to school. In 1989 Clayton began his apprenticeship as a painter and decorator with a local family owned painting partnership. During his apprenticeship he worked nights in a pizza shop to help make ends meet. He has also worked in radio, with a security services firm and was an area manager with a large painting company. Recognising his passion for painting, in 1997 he established a painting partnership and built a very good business. However, Clayton had other things on his mind and Wet Paint-Ting was born in 1999. Since then Clayton has worked tirelessly, in the early days often working 7 day a week, to build his business and meet his customers’ needs.
