Aluminium Window Painters in Mermaid Waters

RepaintPro | Turning Faded Windows Into Sharp Architectural Features

Mermaid Waters is one of those Gold Coast suburbs where the street view tells you everything. Manicured lawns. Fresh render. Modern garage doors. And a growing number of homes getting their aluminium windows painted instead of replaced.

If you’ve noticed black or dark grey frames replacing cream and bronze all around you — you’re not imagining things. There’s a quiet revolution happening in Mermaid Waters.

And RepaintPro is right in the thick of it.

In this post, we’ll walk you through:

Let’s jump in.

What We’re Seeing Around Mermaid Waters

A lot of the homes in this suburb were built between the 1980s and early 2000s — when powder-coated aluminium was the standard window option.

That means:

Bronze, white, or faded cream frames Security screens with dated mesh or patterns Big sliders that once looked modern but now drag down the home’s value Internal window faces that don’t match new flooring, kitchens, or furniture

People are updating everything else — facades, fencing, driveways, lighting — but the windows are often left behind because replacing them sounds too hard or expensive.

That’s where we come in.

Repaint, Don’t Replace

Painting your aluminium windows isn’t just cheaper than replacing them — it’s smarter.

Replacement involves:

Breaking render or brickwork Pulling out windows and sliding doors Replastering, repainting, retiling New architraves, seals, and finishing Coordinating trades Dust, noise, delays — and a massive bill

Our painting process delivers the same look and feel without touching the structure.

No builder. No tiler. No weeks of disruption.

And once we’re done? You’ll be looking at crisp, clean, modern frames that look like new.

Real Job: Window Painting in Mermaid Waters

We recently completed a home near Sunshine Boulevard that had a full mix of:

Large cream sliders Colonial bar-style windows at the front A patio with anodised bronze trim Security screens with faded mesh A rendered exterior that had been repainted grey

The windows were making the entire house look older than it was.

The client wanted black — to match their fence and add contrast.

Here’s what we did:

Removed all screens and doors Cleaned and degreased every surface Mechanically sanded all frame faces Masked carefully around each bar and angle Applied a high-adhesion primer Sprayed three coats of satin black Resprayed all screens and replaced mesh Reinstalled and cleaned every surface

The result?

An exterior facelift without ever touching a builder or ordering new windows.

The RepaintPro Process: What Makes Us the Best in the Business

We’re not general painters — we specialise in aluminium window painting. That means we don’t cut corners, and we don’t take risks with your home.

Let’s break it down.

???? 1. Solvent Cleaning

We start with wax and grease remover to clean off:

Salt spray Fingerprints Oils from silicone and sealants Contaminants you can’t see

This is done before anything else, ensuring our sanders don’t rub dirt into the aluminium.

???? 2. Sanding for Adhesion

Our sanding process removes:

Oxidised powder coating Glossy or slippery finishes Surface chalking Inconsistent texture

We use a mix of orbital sanders, hand sanding pads, and detail sanders to get right into corners.

???? 3. Masking — No Overspray Allowed

This is one of the most important stages.

We use:

High-adhesion green painter’s tape Static cling film Drop sheets and cardboard Multiple layers to protect walls, floors, tiles, and glass

We mask around colonial bars, not over them. If the job needs it, we can even tape to rounded or bevelled window features.

It’s clean. Controlled. And leaves razor-sharp lines.

???? 4. High-Performance Priming

We spray on a commercial-grade adhesion primer, designed for aluminium and powder-coated surfaces.

Why it matters:

Ensures long-term bonding Prevents chipping Levels minor imperfections Gives an even base for colour coats

Without a primer, no paint job lasts — no matter what anyone tells you.

???? 5. Colour Spraying (Topcoats)

Once the primer is dry, we move on to the main event.

We use HVLP (high-volume low-pressure) sprayers — the same kind of equipment used on cars and custom panels.

Our topcoats:

Are UV-stable Come in gloss, satin, or matte Have heat-resistant properties Don’t yellow or flake Deliver smooth film builds in 2–4 coats

Your frames come out looking like new aluminium.

Matching Screens, Sliders & Security Doors

It’s not just about the windows.

When we’re onsite, we also offer:

✅ Security screen respraying

✅ Flyscreen mesh replacement

✅ Wheel and roller adjustment on sliders

✅ Door track cleaning

✅ Recolouring for patio or pergola trims

We carry all common mesh types and spline — and we match your frames perfectly.

Internal and External Frame Painting

Most jobs in Mermaid Waters include both interior and exterior frame spraying.

Here’s why:

You can see frames from inside almost every room If only the outside is painted, it can look mismatched Internal white frames can clash with dark external finishes High-end finishes demand full consistency

We protect floors, carpets, blinds, and joinery. You’ll barely know we’ve been — except for how amazing the windows look when we’re done.

Popular Colours in Mermaid Waters

Here are the finishes we’ve been spraying most often:

???? Satin Black – The most popular modern finish

???? Gloss Black – For high-contrast luxury look

???? Colorbond Monument – Clean, architectural, versatile

????️ Basalt – Understated charcoal

FAQs from Mermaid Waters Clients

Do I need to be home during the job?

You don’t need to be home the whole time. On spray days, it’s best to be out or outside due to fumes.

Will the paint peel off over time?

Not if done correctly. With our primer, sanding, and topcoats — and using proper cleaning — the paint is designed to last years.

What about window tracks and seals?

We don’t spray inside sliding tracks. We clean them and mask them to keep operation smooth.

Can you colour match to my garage door or fence?

Yes — we colour match to all Colorbond and Dulux shades, plus most custom colours.
