Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames for repainting in Nerang?
A: Frames are thoroughly cleaned, sanded for adhesion, primed, and resprayed with multiple coats.

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks the powder-coated surface so primers stick properly.

Q: Do you remove windows from the frames?
A: No. Frames stay in place. Sliding panels are removed, serviced, sprayed, and reinstalled.

Q: How do you protect glass while spraying?
A: Every pane is masked with tape and protective film for razor-sharp edges.

Q: Can flyscreens and security doors be painted too?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if required.

Q: How do you avoid overspray on Nerang homes with brick, render, or timber?
A: We carefully mask all surfaces — brickwork, render, tiles, decking, and gardens.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both sides can be sprayed for consistency.

Q: How many coats are normally applied?
A: Usually 2–4 thin coats for durability and coverage.

Q: Can Nerang homeowners repaint aluminium windows themselves?
A: You can, but without professional primers, sanding, and HVLP spraying, results won’t last.

Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Nerang’s conditions?
A: With correct prep, painted frames last many years. All work comes with a 6-year QBCC-backed warranty.

Q: Does Nerang’s mix of acreage and suburban estates affect durability?
A: Both rural exposure and suburban UV are handled well with our coatings.

Q: Is black more durable than white on aluminium windows?
A: No. Both last equally well when surfaces are prepped properly.

Q: Will painted aluminium peel or chip?
A: Not when properly sanded, primed, and sprayed.

Q: Can scratches be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Damage is smoothed out before repainting.

Q: Can previously painted aluminium windows be redone?
A: Yes. Old coatings are sanded back, re-primed, and resprayed.

Q: Do repainted aluminium frames look like factory finishes?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying delivers sharp, professional results.

A: Use mild detergent and water only — avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals.
