Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminium Window Painting in Coomera



General Questions

Q: Can aluminium windows in Coomera homes be repainted?
A: Yes. Aluminium frames in Coomera — from modern estates to riverfront homes — can be sanded, primed, and resprayed for a factory-like finish.

Q: Is repainting aluminium windows worthwhile in Coomera?
A: Definitely. Many older or entry-level homes still have cream or bronze frames. Repainting modernises them without the cost of replacement.

Q: Do you repaint sliding, stacker, and French doors as well?
A: Yes. All aluminium doors, including sliders and French doors, can be resprayed to match windows.

Q: Is painting aluminium frames better than replacing them?
A: In most cases, yes. Painting provides the same sleek finish for far less money and disruption.

Q: Do painted aluminium frames look new again?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying creates a smooth, professional, factory-like look.




Preparation & Process

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

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

Q: Do you remove windows before repainting?
A: No. Frames remain in place. Sliding panels are removed, serviced, sprayed, and reinstalled.

Q: How is glass protected during spraying?
A: Every pane is masked with precision for sharp, clean edges.

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

Q: How do you prevent overspray on Coomera homes with brick and render?
A: We carefully mask all surrounding surfaces — render, brickwork, tiles, and gardens.

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

Q: How many coats do you usually apply?
A: Typically 2–4 thin coats for complete coverage and durability.

Q: Can Coomera homeowners repaint their own aluminium windows?
A: You can, but without primers, sanding, and HVLP spraying, the results won’t last.




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.

Q: Does Coomera’s riverfront location affect durability?
A: Homes closer to the river may face more humidity, but our coatings handle it very well.

Q: Is black more durable than white on aluminium frames?
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.

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

Q: Do repainted aluminium windows look like factory finishes?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying achieves a crisp, professional result.

Q: How should I clean painted aluminium frames?
A: Wash with mild detergent and water — avoid abrasives and strong solvents.




Property-Specific

Q: Should I repaint aluminium windows before selling in Coomera?
A: Yes. Fresh frames improve listing photos and presentation at inspections.

Q: Do buyers notice aluminium window colours in Coomera?
A: Definitely. Outdated bronze or cream colours are obvious and make a property feel dated.

Q: Is repainting worthwhile for rental properties?
A: Yes. Updated frames increase appeal for tenants and investors.

Q: Will repainting improve my home’s street appeal?
A: Yes. Fresh frames tie in with modern render, roofing, and landscaping.

Q: Should flyscreens and barrier doors be painted too?
A: Yes. Consistency across screens and frames makes a big difference.

Q: Can garage doors be painted to match aluminium frames?
A: Yes. Garage doors are often sprayed at the same time for a seamless look.

Q: Can sliding doors be serviced while repainting?
A: Yes. We replace rollers and clean tracks while respraying.

Q: Do colonial or French-style aluminium windows repaint well?
A: Yes. Colonial bars are masked and sprayed neatly.

Q: Can louvres be repainted?
A: Yes. Louvres can be masked and sprayed to match the new frame colour.




Commercial & Larger Projects

Q: Do you repaint aluminium shopfronts in Coomera?
A: Yes. We service retail, office, and commercial aluminium repainting locally.

Q: Do you use different coatings for commercial aluminium?
A: Yes. Commercial projects require 2-pack primers and polyurethane finishes for durability.

Q: Can you manage large commercial repainting jobs?
A: Yes. We have the team and equipment to handle major projects.

Q: Do you travel outside Coomera for commercial work?
A: Yes. We service all Gold Coast suburbs, Brisbane, and beyond.

Q: Can aluminium in multi-storey buildings be repainted?
A: Yes. With scaffolding or access gear, multi-level jobs are safely completed.

Q: Do you liaise with body corporates in Coomera complexes?
A: Yes. We coordinate with committees to secure approvals.




Service & Practical

A: Yes. From new estates to riverfront homes and townhouses, we cover the entire suburb.

Q: Do you also work outside Coomera?
A: Yes. We service every Gold Coast suburb and beyond for larger projects.

Q: How long does it take to repaint aluminium windows in Coomera homes?
A: Most homes are finished in under a week. Larger properties may take longer.

Q: Do you remove blinds and curtains before spraying?
A: Yes. We carefully remove or tape them aside. Older fittings are treated with care.

Q: Do I need to be home during spraying?
A: No. Many clients go out while the spraying is done.

Q: Do you clean up after the job is complete?
A: Yes. All tape, masking, and protective film are removed so the property is tidy.

Q: Will my render, decks, and gardens be safe from overspray?
A: Yes. Every surface is masked thoroughly before spraying.
