Aluminium Window Painters Mermaid Beach

Bringing New Life to Coastal Homes — One Window at a Time

Mermaid Beach isn’t just a postcode — it’s a lifestyle. Whether you’re walking to the sand in your thongs or pulling into a beachfront driveway, this stretch of the coast is all about presentation, lifestyle, and style.

And that includes the windows.

Across the Mermaid Beach area, more and more homeowners are turning to professional aluminium window painting as a fast, modern way to bring their home’s exterior into the 2020s — without the mess, cost, or chaos of window replacement.

If your frames are faded, outdated, or mismatched with the rest of your home, keep reading. This post walks through the complete RepaintPro approach to transforming aluminium window frames — from faded to flawless — using proven prep, precision spraying, and careful masking, all done right here in Mermaid Beach.

Why So Many Mermaid Beach Homes Are Repainting Aluminium Windows

Take a drive around Mermaid Beach and look closely at the houses. You’ll see:

Bronze or cream frames from the 80s and 90s White frames that clash with dark garage doors or fencing Colonial or French-style window bars that feel stuck in time Peeling powder coat or chalky aluminium Stunning modern renos where the only thing left untouched… are the windows

Most of these homes have good bones — and good windows. They’re just let down by the colour and condition of the frame coating.

That’s where RepaintPro comes in.

We don’t just paint aluminium windows. We restore them. Renew them. Modernise them. And bring them in line with the fresh coastal aesthetics that define Mermaid Beach living.

The Real Alternative to Window Replacement

Let’s be honest — full window replacement is:

Disruptive Expensive Slow And often totally unnecessary

Most of the homes we work on have solid aluminium window frames that still operate well. The seals are intact. The glass is good. The sliders slide.

So instead of pulling them out, damaging walls, re-rendering, and starting from scratch, we use a different system:

✅ Clean, sand, and prep the surface

✅ Apply a proper adhesion primer

✅ Spray topcoats in the chosen finish

✅ Remove masking for perfect tape lines

✅ Respray and re-mesh screens and security doors if needed

The result? Factory-look frames in a colour of your choice — without needing to remove a single screw.

Spotlight Job: Colonial Frames in Mermaid Beach

We recently completed a job in Mermaid Beach on a two-storey coastal property that had cream colonial-style windows with decorative bars.

The house itself was stunning — rendered in off-white, with new black fencing, a dark-tiled roof, and updated landscaping. But the aluminium window frames made it look tired and patchy.

Here’s what we did:

Masked around every single decorative bar (not over them) Removed flyscreens and security doors for separate spraying Sanded every aluminium surface with both hand and orbital tools Cleaned all frames with wax and grease remover Sprayed high-performance adhesion primer Applied three coats of gloss black finish Resprayed the security screens in matching gloss black Removed tape to reveal razor-sharp paint lines Touched up caulking where needed

The end result? A jaw-dropping transformation that looked like the client had replaced every window — when in reality, we did it all without a builder or a plasterer.

The RepaintPro Window Painting System

We’ve developed a process over decades that’s tailored to the Gold Coast climate, building styles, and coastal conditions. Here’s what makes it work:

1. Cleaning and Degreasing

We start with a full wipe-down using wax and grease remover, not just water or detergent. This removes:

Salt build-up Insect spray residue Oils from past sealants Dust and grime that prevent adhesion

It’s the first step to making sure our primer bonds properly.

2. Mechanical Sanding

Next, we sand every frame with a combination of:

Orbital sanders Detail sanders for tight spots Hand pads for curves and corners

This opens the surface and gives the primer something to grip to.

3. Professional Masking

Masking isn’t just about covering glass. It’s about total protection and clean lines. We use:

Green automotive painter’s tape (high-adhesion, clean removal) Static cling film for glass Cardboard shields for ground or tile edges Floor and wall drop protection

We never spray over colonial bars. Instead, we tape around every one for that crisp, original finish.

4. Primer Application

We use a two-pack adhesion primer designed for powder-coated and bare aluminium. This:

Ensures maximum bonding Prevents peeling and chipping Helps level out fine texture Allows topcoat to lay evenly

We allow the primer to cure before moving on — no rushing.

5. Spraying the Topcoats

Using HVLP sprayers (high-volume, low-pressure), we apply 2–4 coats of the chosen topcoat.

Our finishes:

Resist UV damage Handle coastal moisture Maintain gloss or satin levels Bond chemically to the primer Match or exceed the look of new windows

We don’t cut corners with coverage. Each frame gets full film build.

6. Tape Pull & Cleanup

Once cured, we pull the tape to reveal the clean edge — the moment we always film.

Every window gets a final polish. We reinstall all screens, refit any doors, and ensure rollers are smooth.

It’s not finished until it looks perfect.

Popular Colours in Mermaid Beach

Here’s what’s been trending:

???? Gloss Black – For contrast with white render or Hamptons trim

???? Satin Monument – Sleek, neutral, modern

????️ Surfmist – Coastal grey-white

Screen Respraying & Upgrades

We don’t just leave you with mismatched security screens. While we’re there, we can:

Respray diamond grill screens Remove grills for a cleaner look Replace mesh with pet-grade or privacy options Respray frames to match your windows Replace old spline and rubber seals Adjust door rollers and handles

It’s a smart add-on while the doors are removed anyway — and we carry a wide range of parts.

Internal Frame Painting? Yes, We Do That Too.

Most jobs include internal face spraying — and we take extra care when inside your home.

We cover:

Floors Furniture Curtains and blinds Electrical switches Timber sills and reveals

The inside matters just as much. It’s what you see every day.
