Checklist for Your Aluminium Window Painter – Elanora

Looking to update the look of your aluminium windows in Elanora? Before you hand over your hard-earned money — or your home’s appearance — to the first painter who says “I can do that,” take a breath. Aluminium window painting is a very specific skill. It’s not standard house painting, and it’s definitely not something you want rushed, guessed, or done with the wrong products.

This checklist is for anyone in Elanora thinking about respraying their windows, doors, frames, or security screens. Use it to confidently compare painters and make sure you’re hiring someone who’s actually up to the job — not someone pretending to be.

✅ Insurance – It’s for YOU, Not Them

Even with the most experienced hands, unforeseen things can happen on a job site. That’s why public liability insurance isn’t optional — it’s essential.

It protects your home and your property

It ensures you’re covered if anything goes wrong

It’s a sign of a properly run trade business


If they can’t or won’t provide proof of current insurance? Move on.

RepaintPro carries full trade insurance — and we’re always happy to show our documentation.


—

✅ Experience – Real Spray Experience, Not Just Painting

We’ve seen ads floating around from spray painting businesses recruiting new “technicians” with no experience required.

That’s not how it should work.

You wouldn’t let someone with no plumbing experience fix your bathroom. So why would you let someone without real painting experience spray your windows?

At RepaintPro, we’re a four-generation painting family with over 100 years of experience — and more than 30 years of that dedicated to aluminium window and surface spraying. This is what we do. Every day. On homes like yours.


—

✅ Licensing – It’s a Legal Requirement

Here’s something a lot of painters try to avoid talking about.

If your aluminium window painting job is over $3,300 (including GST), the painter needs to be licensed with the QBCC — that’s the Queensland Building and Construction Commission.

Some try to get around this by splitting the invoice into two smaller ones. But the law looks at the total value of the work. And if it’s over that threshold, they must be licensed — no excuses.

Also beware of “licence sharing.” If the person quoting you isn’t the same as the licence holder, you’re in risky territory.

RepaintPro is fully QBCC licensed. Our number is on every quote and on our website. We follow the law, and we work above board — always.

✅ Proof of Previous Work – No Stock Images Here

Photos are good. But real photos — and real video footage — are what you should be asking for.

Too many painters use stock images or recycle the same ‘perfect’ job photo over and over again.

At RepaintPro, we:

Show jobs from Elanora, Palm Beach, Burleigh, and across the coast

Capture our own before, during, and after videos

Share process footage (taping, sanding, priming, spraying)

Post almost daily on social media so you can see real, consistent work

YouTube


When a business is confident in its work, they show it. Not hide it.

✅ Products and Process – This Is Not Wall Paint

Aluminium is non-porous, smooth, and prone to adhesion problems if not treated properly. Standard house paint just won’t cut it.

Ask your painter:

Do you clean and degrease first?

Do you use an etch or all-surface primer designed for aluminium?

Do you spray multiple coats with controlled drying times?

Do you know your micron film builds?


We do.

RepaintPro uses a system built specifically for repainting aluminium. We’re not experimenting. We’re using proven methods that deliver long-lasting, professional finishes — right here in Elanora.

✅ Is This a Real Business?

Not every painter on the Gold Coast is running a real business. Some are weekend warriors, hobbyists, or subcontractors just bouncing between jobs.

Before hiring anyone, ask yourself:

Do they have a proper website?

Do they have a valid ABN?

Do they issue formal quotes with licence details?

Are they listed with the QBCC?

Do they have a business address, not just a PO box or mobile?


RepaintPro has been operating for decades. We work from a signwritten van. Our team wears uniforms. We don’t just appear and disappear — we’re here, and we stand behind every job.


—

✅ Finish Consistency – Not Just One Good Job

Anyone can get lucky once. The question is: can they do a clean, durable, high-end finish on every job?

Take a scroll through our social pages.

You’ll see:

Consistently crisp edges

Perfect taping and masking

Smooth satin, gloss, or matte finishes

Aluminium windows, sliders, louvres, security screens, and more — all sprayed perfectly


We don’t cut corners, and we don’t deliver “near enough is good enough” work.


—

✅ Clear Communication and Quotes

You’ve probably dealt with tradies who:

Don’t answer the phone

Don’t return messages

Take days to get you a quote

Say they’ll show up… then don’t


That’s not us.

At RepaintPro:

You can text or call Steve directly on 0403 311 125

You can upload photos through our online dashboard

You can message us anytime through Facebook or Instagram


We reply quickly. We book honestly. And we keep you updated every step of the way.

✅ We’re Not Here to Sell You Anything

But we are here to offer a solution — for those outdated, faded, or mismatched aluminium windows.

Why replace them when you can repaint them to:

Match your new exterior paint

Match your renovation or extension

Modernise cream frames to black or charcoal

Restore old powder-coated frames without removal


It’s a fraction of the cost of replacement — and it looks factory new.


—

Currumbin Waters
