Aluminium Window Painting Elanora | RepaintPro
Aluminium window and door frames can last for decades, but their factory coating often doesn’t. In a suburb like Elanora, with its mix of coastal breezes, hot summer sun, and seasonal storms, those sleek, powder-coated finishes can fade, chalk, or peel long before the actual frame needs replacing.
When this happens, your home can start to look older than it really is. The colour of the frames may clash with your exterior paintwork or your renovated interiors. Some homeowners think the only answer is to rip the windows out and install new ones — but there’s a smarter, cleaner, and much more cost-effective solution.
With our professional on-site aluminium window spray painting service, you can have your existing frames transformed into a modern, factory-like finish without the price tag and hassle of replacement.

Why Aluminium Frames in Elanora Age
Living in Elanora means you get the benefit of easy access to both the coastline and the hinterland — but your windows get the full force of the Gold Coast climate.
Here’s why frames in this suburb often need a refresh sooner than expected:
UV exposure – Summer sun is relentless, breaking down the pigments and binders in old paint.
Salt-laden air – Even several kilometres inland, salt mist from the ocean reaches your home and can accelerate corrosion.
Seasonal weather – Storms, wind-driven rain, and fluctuating humidity all put stress on coatings.
Changing style trends – Old bronze, cream, or silver tones can date a home quickly.

Why Repainting Beats Replacing
Replacing aluminium frames means:
Removing surrounding trims and cladding
Potentially damaging internal finishes
Coordinating with multiple trades
It’s disruptive and expensive — and for many homes, completely unnecessary.
Repainting offers:
1. Major savings – A fraction of the cost of replacement.
2. No demolition work – The structure stays intact.
3. Fast results – Most homes are completed inside a week.
4. Colour flexibility – Match a modern palette or customise to suit.

Step 4 – Cleaning
We wash down the frames with a wax and grease remover to remove contaminants like:

Step 5 – Sanding
Mechanical sanding creates a micro-textured surface for the primer to grip. Skipping this step risks poor adhesion and early peeling.

Step 6 – Priming
We apply a premium aluminium primer to:
Seal the prepared surface
Prevent oxidation
Provide a stable base for the topcoats
