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 Outdated bronze or cream colours are obvious and make a property feel dated.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.
