Commercial Aluminium Window Painting on the Gold Coast

High-Performance 2-Pack Coatings for Lasting Results in Demanding Environments

Introduction: A Modern Approach to Commercial Façade Rejuvenation

If you manage, own, or lease a commercial building on the Gold Coast, you already know that first impressions matter. Whether it’s a shopfront in Burleigh Heads, a medical suite in Southport, or a retail strip in Coolangatta, your exterior presentation plays a crucial role in attracting customers, tenants, and business partners.

But what happens when the aluminium windows, doors, or mullions that frame your space start to look tired, faded, or dated?

The answer isn’t always replacement.

At RepaintPro, we specialise in commercial aluminium window painting across the Gold Coast, using industrial-grade 2-pack primers and topcoats that are engineered for commercial performance — and deliver a clean, factory-like finish without the cost or disruption of replacement.

Let’s explore why more builders, facility managers, and commercial property owners are turning to on-site respraying using 2-pack polyurethane systems as their preferred method for refreshing aluminium exteriors.

Why Painting Instead of Replacing?

Aluminium windows are built to last — the frame structure is almost always sound, even after decades. What wears down is the original powder-coated finish, especially under Gold Coast UV conditions, sea breezes, salt spray, and general wear and tear.

The benefits of repainting:

Cost-effective: Repainting costs a fraction of full replacement.

Fast turnaround: No need to remove internal walls, cut tiles, or rip out frames.

Minimal disruption: Businesses can stay operational during the process.

Customisable finish: Choose any modern colour, including Colorbond, Dulux or matched corporate colours.

Professional image: Clean, uniform frames reflect a strong business identity.

The 2-Pack Difference: Built for Commercial Strength

Not all paints are created equal — especially when it comes to commercial repainting. For residential projects, single-pack systems may suffice, but high-traffic, high-exposure commercial settings require 2-pack coatings for durability and longevity.

What is a 2-pack system?

“2-pack” refers to a two-component paint system:

Part A: The resin (e.g. acrylic, polyurethane).

Part B: The hardener or catalyst.


When combined, these components chemically cure (rather than air-dry), resulting in:

Harder, more durable finishes

Superior chemical and UV resistance

Excellent adhesion to correctly prepared aluminium


We use 2-pack epoxy primers followed by 2-pack polyurethane topcoats for optimal performance on commercial aluminium substrates.

Our Process: Designed for Precision and Protection

Repainting commercial aluminium requires careful surface preparation, technical knowledge of coating systems, and a methodical application process. Here’s how we do it:

1. Site Assessment

We begin with a walk-through of the premises, noting access points, safety requirements, substrate condition, and the scope of works.

2. Colour Selection

We work with designers, builders, or site managers to choose a suitable colour scheme. Corporate colour matching is available using fan decks, RAL, or Colorbond equivalents.

3. Access and Protection

Scaffolding or boom lifts are arranged as required. All adjacent surfaces are masked or covered to prevent overspray — including signage, floors, glazing, and nearby vehicles.

4. Surface Preparation

This is the most important step. We:

Degrease and clean using wax and grease remover

Abrade surfaces with mechanical sanding (various grits)

Use Scotchbrite or mechanical scuffing for contours and corners

Blow down and vacuum to remove dust


5. Priming with 2-Pack Epoxy Primer

We apply 1–2 coats of 2-pack epoxy primer. This creates a sealed, high-adhesion layer that bonds tightly to aluminium and prevents issues like flaking or bubbling.

Typical film build: 30–40 microns per coat, up to 80 microns total.

6. Top Coating with 2-Pack Polyurethane

Once primed and cured, we spray 2–3 coats of 2-pack polyurethane topcoat. This product provides:

High UV resistance

Chemical resistance

Satin, gloss or matte options

Excellent colour retention


7. Cure, Clean and Handover

After a 24–48 hour full cure period (depending on temperature), we:

Remove masking carefully

Clean all surfaces

Conduct final inspection with the client or builder

Safety and Compliance: We’re Fully Licensed and Insured

We operate under full QBCC licensing, and our 6-year workmanship warranty is backed by the same regulatory body that governs all building trades in Queensland.

All commercial works are compliant with:

Safe Work Australia guidelines

Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

EPA regulations for overspray and solvent use

On-site SWMS (Safe Work Method Statements)


Our team wears full protective gear during all spray applications, and we always manage overspray, ventilation, and pedestrian safety in commercial precincts.


—

How Long Does It Take?

This depends on size and access. As a general guide:

Small retail shopfronts (1–2 bays): 1 day

Medium complexes or strata entries: 2–4 days

Large commercial jobs: 1–2 weeks+


We schedule around your operating hours where possible, including after-hours or weekend spraying to minimise disruption to foot traffic.

Colours, Finishes, and Custom Branding

Want matte Monument for a sleek architectural look? Gloss white to match signage? Satin black for contrast?

We can match any corporate palette and offer:

Low-sheen, satin, semi-gloss or high-gloss

Metallic or flat finishes

Branding compliance for franchises or retail chains


If you have old frames that no longer match your new branding or signage — repainting them in-place is one of the smartest upgrades you can make.

Eco-Friendlier Than Replacement

Did you know that repainting aluminium frames generates far less environmental impact than replacing them?

Replacing even 20–30 square metres of commercial-grade aluminium frames can result in:

300–500kg of CO₂ emissions

Waste removal and landfill

Added production and transport costs


Meanwhile, repainting generates around 1.5–3kg of CO₂ per m² using modern systems.

It’s a smart move both financially and environmentally.
