Let’s dive deep into how this process works, what’s involved, and why it’s a smart, cost-effective solution.

✅ Can Aluminium Windows Be Painted?

Yes, aluminium windows can absolutely be painted. In fact, it’s one of the most effective ways to rejuvenate the look of your home without the cost and disruption of full window replacements.

However, this is not your typical DIY project. Aluminium surfaces require a specialised preparation and coating process to ensure the paint adheres correctly and lasts for many years. That’s where professionals like RepaintPro come in.

????️ Our Proven Aluminium Painting Process

Whether we’re working on windows, doors, gates or shopfront mullions, the process remains the same — and every step is critical for long-term performance.

1. Detailed Cleaning

We begin by washing and degreasing the aluminium to remove any contaminants like oils, dust, or atmospheric pollutants. This is essential for ensuring the primer bonds properly.

2. Sanding and Etch Prep

The surface is lightly abraded to create a mechanical bond for the primer. In some cases, we also apply a special etch solution to help the paint grip even better.

3. Professional Taping and Masking

Taping is one of the most important (and often overlooked) parts of the process. We protect all surrounding areas meticulously with tape and plastic, especially around glass and building edges. Our recent video showing tape removal from freshly painted gloss black windows highlights just how sharp and clean the finish is when done correctly.

4. Priming

Depending on the job, we use either white or black high-adhesion primer to build a durable base layer. Priming is especially important on powder-coated aluminium, which requires strong bonding properties.

5. Top Coats

We use premium airless spray equipment to apply 2–3 coats of colour in either satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finishes. Our paints are UV stable, designed for the harsh Australian climate, and formulated to match modern architectural trends.

???? Why Choose Repainting Over Replacement?

Replacing aluminium windows is expensive, invasive, and sometimes unnecessary. Repainting offers:

A fraction of the cost of replacements Fast turnaround (most jobs completed within a week) A fresh, modern appearance Colour flexibility — match new trims, doors, or fences Increased curb appeal and potential resale value

???? Suburbs We Service

We proudly service residential and commercial projects across:

Mudgeeraba Reedy Creek Bonogin Worongary Robina Varsity Lakes Clear Island Waters Mermaid Waters Broadbeach & Broadbeach Waters Bundall Carrara Southport Nerang Ashmore Benowa Pacific Fair Palm Beach Merrimac South Tweed Heads to South Brisbane

For commercial shopfronts, we also service anywhere on the east coast of Australia for projects with more than three shopfronts.

⚒️ What About Powder-Coated Aluminium?

Many customers ask: Can you paint over powder-coated aluminium? Yes, you can.

Our cleaning, priming and finish system has been developed specifically to bond to powder coating. The key is our industrial-grade etch primers and thorough prep process, which allow the new coating to last for years without peeling or fading.

⏱️ How Long Does It Take?

Most projects are completed within a week, depending on weather and scope. We aim to be as efficient and non-disruptive as possible, and we always communicate scheduling clearly with you.

????️ How Long Does It Last?

We are fully licensed with the QBCC and offer a 6-year warranty on workmanship. That said, we have revisited projects over 8.5 years old where the paint has held up beautifully. Proper preparation and product choice make all the difference.

???? What About Flyscreens and Security Screens?

You can leave them on, or we can remove and respray them separately. In some cases, clients choose to re-mesh screens afterwards for a cleaner look.

Our process includes options for diamond grille security doors and windows, which we paint using the same system as window frames — the only difference is the paint is carefully sprayed through the grille to ensure a professional finish without clogging the mesh.

???? Do I Need to Be Home?

You’re welcome to stay home during the process, but while we’re spraying, we recommend being outside or out for the day. We wear protective masks while spraying, and the smell usually dissipates within a few hours after completion.

???? What Colours Can I Choose?

We can match just about any colour, including:

Monument Surfmist Woodland Grey Jasper Black White Silver or metallic finishes

We’ll help you choose a colour that complements your home’s style and exterior finishes.

It’s easy to get started. To receive an online quote, just send us the following:
