Bringing New Life to Old Aluminium Frames Across the Gold Coast

“We are not here to sell you anything. But we are here to solve the problem of what to do with those ugly windows that don’t match anything anymore!”

If you’ve driven through Currumbin lately, you’ve probably noticed the quiet transformation happening behind the fences and rendered walls. Homes that once wore outdated window frames in faded creams or chipped silver are being reborn in clean, modern colours like satin black, Monument®, or Pearl White — all thanks to high-quality aluminium window painting by RepaintPro.

This post is your inside look at our recent work in Currumbin and across the Gold Coast, showing how we take tired old frames and completely transform them with industrial-grade adhesion, clean prep, and flawless finishes. But it’s not just the results — it’s the process behind them that sets us apart.

Why Currumbin Homeowners Are Choosing to Repaint Aluminium Frames

Currumbin is full of older beachside homes built during a time when aluminium windows were the standard — but so was beige, mission brown, or anodised silver. These colour choices haven’t aged well, especially against today’s fresh render colours, matte finishes, and Colorbond roofs.

Instead of replacing every frame — which is costly, invasive, and disruptive — more Currumbin homeowners are discovering that professional spray painting can give the same visual impact for a fraction of the cost and time.

Here’s what’s driving the trend:

✅ Coastal corrosion resistance using professional primers

✅ Instant street appeal upgrades

✅ Matches new garage doors, fences, or external cladding

✅ No need to rip out windows or disturb plasterwork

✅ Minimal disruption to daily life

The Process: More Than Just Paint

Let’s clear something up straight away — we don’t just rock up with a can of paint and hope for the best. Repainting aluminium windows is an exact process that involves:

Thorough Cleaning Wax and grease removal Removal of airborne salts (especially near Currumbin beach) Dust and residue elimination Mechanical Sanding Hand and machine abrasion to key the surface Special attention to corners, mullions, and frame recesses Masking Green tape and plastic film to protect surrounding walls and glass Precision taping for razor-sharp spray lines Priming High-bond, metal-specific primer (like Norglass all-surface primer) Applied with HVLP spray systems for maximum adhesion Spraying 2–4 coats of UV-stable topcoat in the customer’s chosen colour Gloss, satin, or matte finishes depending on preference Tape Removal and Final Touch-ups Satisfaction comes with that tape peel — crisp, clean lines every time

From Federation Cream to Modern Black

One of our recent Currumbin jobs involved taping up old colonial-style windows with decorative grilles and a thick cream powder-coated finish. These types of windows are very common in the area and usually come with UV-faded, hard-to-clean paint. The homeowners wanted a sleek gloss black finish to match their new roof and Colorbond fence.

We spent a full day just masking and preparing — taping around intricate bars and being careful with the rubber seals. Once the black primer and gloss coats were laid down, the windows looked brand new. But more importantly, they finally matched the modern direction of the home.

The clients’ words?

“I can’t believe it’s the same window. The grilles pop now instead of looking old-fashioned, and everything just works with the rest of the house. I’m so glad we didn’t rip them out.”

Working in Currumbin Means Planning for the Elements

Currumbin’s mix of salty air, shifting weather, and strong coastal winds makes it a uniquely challenging environment for painting. That’s why we schedule carefully, always factoring in:

Sun direction and movement across the home Wind changes during the day (especially on elevated blocks) Rain forecasts that could affect primer curing Garden irrigation systems that need to be paused Safe taping on freshly rendered or painted walls

And when it comes to salty build-up from ocean breezes, we pay extra attention to removing it completely before sanding. This helps the primer adhere properly and ensures our finish lasts years, not months.

Common Myths We Bust in Every Job

We’ve heard it all, and it’s time to set the record straight. Here are a few common myths we come across when painting aluminium windows:

❌ “Black lasts longer than white.”

Wrong. Black doesn’t “last longer” — that’s a myth. The durability comes from prep work and number of top coats, not colour.

❌ “You can’t repaint powder-coated aluminium.”

Absolutely false. With the right primer and prep, powder-coated frames accept paint extremely well. We’ve done hundreds of jobs with long-lasting results.

❌ “You’ll break the glass taking screens off.”

We remove screens and refit them all the time. Only two panes have cracked in 7+ years — both from incorrectly sized screens, not painter error.

❌ “One coat of paint is fine.”

Nope. One coat doesn’t build the film thickness required for proper durability. We apply 2–4 coats depending on coverage and colour choice.

❌ “Security screens can’t be painted.”

Yes, they can. We take them off, sand them, prime them, and spray them. It’s only painters who don’t want to do the work who say they can’t.

We’re here to deliver truth backed by experience, not shortcuts or myths.

What Makes RepaintPro Different?

Anyone can call themselves a painter. But here’s what you get when you hire us in Currumbin:

???? We Remove the Frames (When Needed)

For sliding doors and some windows, we take them out completely so the spraying can be done evenly and cleanly.

????️ We Replace Hardware

While your frames are out, we inspect rollers and often replace worn wheels in your sliding doors or windows.

???? We Use Wax and Grease Remover

You wouldn’t believe what lives on aluminium frames — sunscreen, bug spray, BBQ residue, salt. We strip it all off for a clean bond.

???? We Custom-Spray to Match Any Colour

Want to match a Colorbond roof? A new front door? A pool fence? We’ll colour-match your chosen shade perfectly.

????️ We’re QBCC Licensed and Insured

We offer a 6-year workmanship warranty backed by the Queensland Building and Construction Commission, not just our word.

???? We Plan Around Your Life

You don’t need to vacate the house. We work room by room if needed, and we schedule efficiently to minimise disruption.

Do You Need to Be Home?

Many clients ask this — the short answer is no, you don’t need to be there while we’re spraying.

In fact, because we wear full protective gear and the product is volatile while airborne, we recommend being outside or out for the day. The smell clears quickly, and it’s safe to return shortly after.

If you want to stick around — that’s fine too. We’ll just ask you to stay out of active spray areas.

How Long Does a Job Take?

We don’t rush. An average home in Currumbin with 10–15 windows might take a week, and larger homes with multiple levels can take up to two weeks — especially if you have flyscreens, sliding doors, or security panels included.

We work methodically:

Prep and tape for 1–2 days Prime and spray in sections Remove masking and inspect thoroughly Do walkthroughs with the client when complete

No guesswork. No cutting corners.
