Jip Paint NT is a proudly Tiwi-owned painting service based in the Northern Territory.
Founded and led by Russell Black, a painter with over 30 years of experience. We deliver reliable residential, commercial and community painting services across the Top End NT.
The name “JIP” comes from Russell’s yiminga (mother’s tribe), Takaringuwi, the Mullet tribe. Jip represents the sound mullets make when they dive into the water. 🐟
The bird featured in our logo is the Magpie Goose, Russell’s dreaming inherited from his adopted Tiwi father, “Pirlakaju”. Magpie geese are iconic to northern Australia and hold strong cultural significance across the region.
We take pride in neat finishes, clean worksites, and delivering a respectful, professional service from start to finish.
