Aluminium Window Painters in Labrador and Broadwater

Aluminium Window Painting Labrador

Give Your Windows a Second Life — Without Replacing Them

Labrador has evolved. Once known primarily for its laid-back holiday homes and water-facing apartments, it’s now a mix of high-end waterfronts, older brick homes, rendered duplexes, and fresh builds. It’s a place where new meets old — but one thing that consistently drags the look of older homes backwards is faded or outdated aluminium windows.

And if your home or investment property in Labrador still has bronze, green, cream, or anodised silver aluminium frames — you’re not alone.

But here’s the good news: you don’t need to rip them out to modernise the look.

At RepaintPro, we specialise in on-site spray painting of aluminium windows across the Gold Coast, including dozens of homes in Labrador. The results speak for themselves: bold, clean, architectural window frames that look like new — without any demolition or glass removal.

The Problem With Older Aluminium Window Frames

Most Labrador homes built before the 2000s used aluminium windows as standard. The frames were powder-coated in colours popular at the time, like:

Bronze Dark brown Anodised silver Cream or white that yellows over time Forest green or eucalyptus tones

Back then, these choices made sense. But now — as more homes are painted in neutral greys, whites, charcoals and Hamptons-inspired colours — these old window frames can really clash.

They date the whole house. They fade. They oxidise. And no amount of cleaning can bring them back.

Don’t Replace — Repaint

Let’s talk truth: replacing aluminium windows is expensive, messy, and totally unnecessary in most cases.

To rip them out, you’ll need to:

Remove surrounding render or brick Replace internal reveals and trims Patch plaster and repaint inside Risk damaging waterproofing Involve multiple trades Lose use of your home during the process Spend tens of thousands of dollars

With RepaintPro, we spray everything in place. You keep your glass. You keep your existing frame structure. And you get a completely transformed look for a fraction of the cost.

Real Labrador Results: Gloss Black Transformation on the Water

Recently, we completed a job on a waterfront home in Labrador. The house had light bricks, white fascia, and a dark tiled roof — but the aluminium frames were an old anodised silver, scratched and faded.

The client was going for a modern monochrome look, so we recommended Gloss Black to create contrast and impact.

Our process involved:

Cleaning every frame with wax and grease remover Sanding all surfaces by hand and machine Masking up all glass and trims around the windows Removing and spraying all security screens Spraying 2 coats of primer and 3 topcoats Final tape removal and edge detailing

The end result? The client said it looked like they’d installed brand new windows.

How We Do It: The RepaintPro Process

We’ve spent years refining our system to ensure perfect results — not just on the Gold Coast in general, but in suburbs like Labrador where sea air and salt exposure are real factors.

Step 1: Getting a Quote

It’s simple.

You send us:

A clear photo of every window and door Your chosen colour or general style Whether security screens are staying on or being removed Your property location — Labrador in this case

We send you back:

A clear total price GST and materials included Fixed cost for security screens Additional fee for second-storey access if required

There’s no itemised breakdown — just one all-inclusive quote.

Step 2: Cleaning the Surface

Before anything else, we deep clean the aluminium with wax and grease remover. This removes:

Sunscreen residue Bug spray film Salt and sea mist Grime, sap, and oil Any airborne contaminants

Even brand-new frames are cleaned. Why? Because anything that interferes with adhesion will reduce the lifespan of your finish.

Step 3: Sanding

Next, we sand every surface to create a bondable profile. This is a crucial step that many painters skip — but it’s what makes our system stick.

We:

Use mechanical sanding tools for flat surfaces Hand-sand tight corners and internal reveals Roughen up powder-coat, anodised or previously painted frames Vacuum dust and tack-cloth every surface

Aluminium is a low surface energy material. If it’s not sanded properly, the paint can peel — especially in high-salt areas like Labrador.

Step 4: Masking — The RepaintPro Way

Masking is what sets professionals apart from amateurs.

We’re known for:

Tight, clean tape lines Green edge tape with paper or plastic sheeting Precision work around French-style bars Masking around, not over, decorative features Covering walls, floors, tracks, and hardware

We never rush masking. Because we want the finish to look like it was factory sprayed.

Step 5: Primer Application

Next comes the primer — specially formulated for aluminium.

We don’t roll it or brush it. It’s sprayed using HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray systems for even coverage and no build-up.

Primer:

Chemically bonds to sanded aluminium Creates a uniform surface for topcoat Improves longevity and resistance to salt and UV Works on both old and new frames Adheres to anodised, powder-coated, and bare aluminium

Step 6: Topcoat Perfection

We apply 2 to 4 topcoats, depending on colour, coverage, and sheen level. One coat is never enough — we build up durable film layers.

Common colours in Labrador include:

Gloss Black – bold, modern, high contrast Satin Monument – a popular Colorbond match Surfmist or Pearl White – crisp and Hamptons-inspired Woodland Grey – great for rendered homes Custom-matched Dulux or Haymes colours

Each coat is flash-off dried, inspected, and followed by another. We don’t rush. The result is consistent and flawless.

Step 7: Tape Removal and Detail Clean

Once dry, we:

Carefully remove all masking Check edges, corners, and silicone lines Clean the glass Reinstall screens Sweep or vacuum the work area Walk you through the final result

We’re proud of our tape pulls — and if you’ve seen our videos, you’ll know why.

Bonus: Internal Frame Spraying

Yes — we spray inside frames too.

In Labrador, where homes often have aluminium sliders in bathrooms, laundries, or sunrooms — this is a game changer.

We protect:

Floors and furniture Fixtures and fittings Curtains (we tape them aside) Bathrooms and tiled areas

The spraying is done with low-odour systems — and you can stay home while we work.

Security Screens — Sprayed to Match

Almost every home in Labrador has some form of security screens. Whether it’s:

Diamond grille hinged doors Fixed window screens Sliding mesh doors Colonial-style grille inserts

We remove them, spray them separately, and reinstall them.

They match the new window colour exactly — and look just as good.

We can also re-mesh them if required.

FAQ – Labrador Clients Ask Us…

How long does it last in salty air?

With proper prep and application, our finishes last years beyond the warranty — even near the Broadwater.

Do I need to be home?

Not at all. Many Labrador clients are out while we work. We just need access and a cleared driveway.

What if I have roller blinds?

We tape them aside. If fittings are sun-damaged, we’re careful — but we do advise you to expect some brittleness on older parts.

How long does it take?

Most single-storey Labrador homes are done in 4–6 days. Double-storey homes may take up to two weeks depending on complexity.

Can I pick any colour?

Yes. We colour-match Dulux, Haymes, Resene, and Colorbond — or even a sample from your front door.
