What Kind of Paint Do You Use on Aluminium Windows? | Gold Coast

Painting aluminium isn’t like painting timber or plaster. Aluminium is smooth, non-porous, and often powder-coated. That means the type of paint you use is critical. If you use the wrong product, it won’t stick — it will peel, bubble, or flake in no time.

Why Not Hardware Store Paint?

Hardware paints aren’t made for aluminium. They might look good for a few months, but without the right chemistry and adhesion, they quickly fail. That’s why we only use systems designed for aluminium surfaces.

Spray Application Matters Too

It’s not just about the paint — it’s how it’s applied.

We spray using HVLP equipment, not brushes.

Multiple thin coats build the correct film thickness.

Precision masking means no overspray or messy edges.


This is how we deliver the factory-quality finish our clients expect.

FAQs – Aluminium Window Paint

Q: Can I just use any exterior paint?
No. Standard exterior paints don’t bond properly to aluminium.

Q: Do you always need a primer?
Yes. Primer is essential — it locks the paint system to the aluminium.

Q: How long will it last?
With the right products and preparation, aluminium windows last many years. All our work is backed by a 6-year QBCC warranty.

Q: Gloss, satin, or matt — which is best?
Satin is the most popular modern finish, but gloss and matt are also available.
