Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames for repainting in Upper Coomera?
A: Frames are cleaned thoroughly, sanded to create adhesion, primed, and sprayed with multiple thin coats.

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding ensures primers bond securely to the surface.

Q: Do you remove windows before spraying?
A: No. Frames stay in place. Large 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 lines.

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

A: By carefully masking all surfaces — render, brickwork, tiles, timber, and gardens — before spraying.

Q: Do you paint both the inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both can be painted for a consistent finish.

Q: How many coats do you apply?
A: Usually 2–4 coats depending on colour and coverage.

A: Yes. Surfaces are smoothed and primed before spraying.
