Aluminium Slatted Garage Door & Gate Resprayed in Satin Black | Gold Coast Respray Experts

Faded garage door? Weathered aluminium gates? This is what a real transformation looks like.

We recently completed a full respray on this slatted aluminium garage door and matching side gate — and the results speak for themselves. A fresh satin black finish, razor-sharp edges, and that ultra-satisfying moment where the masking tape is removed and everything just clicks into place.

Whether you’re on the Gold Coast, in Brisbane, or anywhere between, this is exactly the kind of finish RepaintPro delivers every single day.

Before: Aged, Chalky Aluminium Slats

Take a look at the “Before” shot. This aluminium slatted garage door had clearly weathered years of sun, salt, and exposure. The surface had faded dramatically. The once-modern look had turned dull and uneven, with streaks and marks becoming more visible over time.

Like so many powder-coated finishes, these doors were showing all the classic signs of UV breakdown:

Chalky texture Uneven colour loss Staining that wouldn’t wash off General tired appearance

And just like thousands of homeowners across the Gold Coast, this client asked the all-too-common question:

“Do I need to replace the whole thing?”

Our answer? Absolutely not.

With the right surface preparation, quality primers, and professional spraying, we were able to completely refresh this garage door — for a fraction of the cost of replacement.

The RepaintPro Process for Aluminium Slatted Doors

We specialise in aluminium surface restoration — and our process is what sets us apart.

Here’s exactly how we tackled this job:

1. Onsite Inspection & Preparation

We started by inspecting the surface for any damage, contamination, or areas needing special attention. As with any job, proper preparation is everything. Our team began by:

Removing all contaminants using wax & grease remover Conducting a thorough mechanical abrasion to remove the top layer of failed powder coating Wiping everything down to ensure a clean, dry, dust-free surface

Every inch of the surrounding area was masked up with craft paper, tape, and drop sheets. On this job, that included stone cladding, render, ceiling coves, and tiles.

2. HVLP Spraying — Not Airless

Unlike many painters who use airless systems (which are faster but less refined), we use HVLP (High Volume, Low Pressure) spray equipment. This method:

Delivers a finer, more controlled spray pattern Creates less overspray and better edge definition Results in a more factory-like finish

The aluminium slats were sprayed evenly with a purpose-chosen primer to bond securely to the etched surface. Once the primer cured, we followed up with multiple fine coats of premium 2-pack satin black. The results? Deep colour. Smooth coverage. A flawless finish.

3. Tape-Off Reveal — Our Favourite Moment

One of the most satisfying parts of the job is peeling back the masking tape. It’s the moment you see all that careful prep and detail come together. No runs. No bleeds. Just clean lines and a perfect contrast between surface and surroundings.

After: Deep, Uniform Satin Black Finish

The “After” photo shows exactly why we love what we do. The garage door has gone from tired to transformational. The satin black finish gives it a crisp, architectural feel that pairs beautifully with both modern and rendered homes.

The matching aluminium side gate was completed in the same session — delivering a cohesive look across the entire front of the home. It’s a dramatic visual lift that adds real curb appeal and resale value.

Best of all, it was all done without the need to replace a single slat.

Why Paint Aluminium Garage Doors Instead of Replacing?

Many people think once powder-coated aluminium starts to fade or chalk, it’s the end of the road. But painting over aluminium (even powder-coated surfaces) is completely viable — if it’s done right.

Here’s why painting is the better choice:

Cost-Effective – Painting can be done at less than half the cost of new custom-fabricated slatted panels. Fast Turnaround – Most garage doors and gates are prepped and completed in a single day. Minimal Disruption – No demolition or trades — just a mobile team that comes to you. Custom Colour Options – Choose any shade, from Colorbond Monument to custom Dulux metallics. Durable Finish – With the right prep and product, you can get 6+ years of clean, long-lasting performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

❓ Can you paint powder-coated aluminium?

Yes — with the right system of surface cleaning, sanding, priming, and spraying, we achieve strong, long-lasting adhesion on powder-coated surfaces.

❓ Will the paint last?

Absolutely. We revisit many homes 7–9 years after spraying and the finish is still going strong. We offer a 6-year workmanship guarantee and only use proven, trade-grade products.

❓ Do I need to be home during spraying?

Not at all. Many clients go out for the day. The area will be masked, sprayed, and ventilated, with any overspray safely contained.

❓ Can I choose my own colour?

Yes. You can choose from Colorbond colours (like Monument, Woodland Grey, Surfmist, etc.), standard Dulux tones, or even metallics. White and silver incur an 8% premium, while metallics are 15% more due to material costs and spraying difficulty.
