Preparation & Process

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding is critical to ensure primers bond properly.

A: Yes. Both sides can be painted for a uniform finish.
Q: How many coats do you usually apply?

Durability & Maintenance
Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Coomera’s conditions?
A: With proper preparation, painted frames last many years. All work is backed by a 6-year QBCC warranty.

A: No. Both last equally when applied professionally.
Q: Will painted aluminium peel or chip?
A: Not when surfaces are correctly cleaned, sanded, and primed.
Q: Can scratches be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Damage is smoothed and primed before respraying.

A: Yes. Old coatings are sanded back, re-primed, and resprayed.

A: Yes. HVLP spraying achieves a crisp, professional result.
