When it comes to transforming outdated or weathered aluminium window frames, repainting is often the most cost-effective and visually impactful solution. And if you’re located in Robina, chances are you’ve seen one of our spray jobs firsthand — whether on a rendered home in The Glades or a waterfront property near the Robina Town Centre.

In today’s blog, we’re highlighting a recent aluminium window spraying project completed in Robina, showing how our team at RepaintPro delivers factory-quality finishes on-site, using proven prep methods and HVLP spraying.

We’ll walk you through:

???? What makes this Robina job unique ???? The full prep and masking system ⚪ Primer and topcoat spraying ???? Other Gold Coast suburbs we service ???? Why our system works on powder-coated aluminium ???? How to get a quote and what’s included

Whether your frames are faded, oxidised, or just don’t match your current exterior style, this post will show why repainting with RepaintPro is the smartest move you can make.

Job Overview: Aluminium Frame Respraying in Robina

This particular job involved a two-storey modern home in Robina, just minutes from the Varsity Lakes train line. The client’s original aluminium frames were a mix of faded silver and dull bronze, with powder coating that had begun to chalk and flake in areas exposed to full afternoon sun.

The client had recently repainted their render in a warm neutral tone and wanted to modernise the windows with a Monument gloss finish — sharp, dark, and contemporary.

The job included:

14 standard aluminium windows 3 sliding glass doors 2 security screens Frames on both levels of the home Application of black primer and 3 coats of topcoat

The video from this job shows each stage of the spraying process, highlighting the smooth primer application, even topcoat passes, and clean tape pulls — everything you’d expect from a RepaintPro finish.

Why Robina Homeowners Are Repainting Aluminium Frames

Robina is one of the Gold Coast’s fastest-growing suburbs, with homes ranging from early-90s brick builds to high-end modern designs. Across the board, aluminium windows are standard — but the original powder coating rarely holds up more than 15 years in coastal Queensland weather.

Here’s why Robina homeowners are calling us:

???? Rendered homes with silver or bronze frames look mismatched ???? Sun damage causes dulling, chalking, and oxidisation ???? Replacing windows is expensive and disruptive ???? New exterior colours clash with old frame tones ???? Resale value increases with a modern, unified look

Repainting gives instant visual improvement — and when done properly, it lasts just as long as new powder coating.

Step 1: Surface Cleaning and Prep

Our process always begins with surface prep — the most important stage.

Wax and Grease Removal

We start by removing contaminants using a solvent-based cleaner. This gets rid of:

Hand oils Insect spray residue Silicone or polish Surface dust and air pollutants

No paint or primer will adhere properly without this cleaning stage — it’s a must.

Sanding and Abrasion

Next, we mechanically sand every frame using:

Hand-held abrasive pads Detail sanders for tight corners Grit-appropriate scuffing blocks

Aluminium and powder-coated metal have low surface energy, meaning they resist paint unless physically abraded. Sanding gives the primer a surface it can grip.

Final Wipe-Down

After sanding, we:

Vacuum all surfaces Use tack cloths to remove fine dust Inspect edges, corners, and reveals for contamination

Only then do we move to masking.

Step 2: Professional Masking

This Robina home had a mix of sliding windows, fixed panes, and multi-panel doors. We masked each one with:

Green painter’s tape for clean edge lines Professional masking paper and film Drop sheets for flooring and surrounding areas Foam inserts where needed to prevent overspray under sill lips

We even protected nearby plants and render to keep the site spotless.

The result? When the job was done and the tape was pulled — razor-sharp lines with zero bleed.

Step 3: Primer Application – Black or White?

For this project, we used black Norglass All Surface Primer, because the final topcoat was Monument gloss — a dark shade. Black primer helps:

Improve depth and richness of dark finishes Reduce the number of topcoats needed Provide a UV-protective base Increase final durability

If the client had chosen Surfmist or Pearl White, we would’ve used white primer instead.

We sprayed the primer using HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) for:

Fine atomisation Minimal overspray Smooth flow on both flat and profiled surfaces

After 1–2 hours, the primer was cured and ready for topcoat.

Step 4: Topcoat Spraying – Monument Gloss

With the surface primed and masked, we sprayed 3 full coats of Monument gloss 2-pack polyurethane using HVLP equipment.

Each coat was:

Applied in overlapping passes Flash-dried between layers Visually inspected for even build

Monument is a bold, deep charcoal tone with a subtle blue undertone — and gloss gives it that modern, architectural edge.

On this Robina property, the Monument frames looked incredible against the light-grey rendered walls and black guttering.

Step 5: Tape Removal and Reveal

One of the most satisfying parts of the job — and what we often show in reels and shorts — is the tape pull. Once the final coat dried, we:

Carefully removed edge tape Peeled back film and paper Cleaned up any dust Reassembled screens if removed

The result? Clean, sharp edges. No overspray. And frames that look brand new.

Why Our Process Works Long-Term

Lots of painters skip steps — especially primer — and try to hide it with thick topcoats. But that doesn’t last.

We’ve built our system to work in real Queensland conditions:

Proper prep on LSE surfaces Primers designed for aluminium 2–4 topcoats for full film build No shortcuts, no one-coat wonders

Our finishes often last 8–10 years or more, especially when well-maintained.
