Aluminium Window Painting Gold Coast – Your Questions Answered

Aluminium Window Painting Gold Coast – Your Questions Answered

If you’re living on the Gold Coast and wondering about aluminium window painting, you’re not alone. Every week, homeowners, renovators, and property managers across the Coast search online for answers about repainting their tired old window frames. Whether you’re upgrading a property for sale, modernising a recently purchased home, or just sick of your window frames not matching anything anymore — this guide is for you.

We’ve compiled the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) we get at RepaintPro from clients across the Gold Coast. Let’s dive in:


—

✅ Can aluminium windows actually be painted?

Absolutely. Aluminium windows can be professionally cleaned, sanded, primed, and spray painted with excellent long-term results. The key is in the preparation and using the right process and products.

RepaintPro has been repainting aluminium windows on the Gold Coast since 2015. With over 100 years of family painting experience behind us, we’ve developed a proven system that works — whether the frames are powder-coated, anodised, or previously painted.


—

✅ Why do people repaint aluminium windows?

Great question. The most common reasons we hear from our Gold Coast clients include:

Dated colour schemes: Many homes were built with cream, green, mission brown, or silver frames that now feel out of place.

Renovation upgrades: New floors, kitchens, and external renders clash with existing frames.

Selling the property: Fresh frames can dramatically improve street appeal.

Replacing windows is too expensive: Painting is a fraction of the cost of replacement.


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!


—

✅ What colours are popular for aluminium window painting on the Gold Coast?

The overwhelming majority of homes we paint fall into just a few key colour categories:

Gloss Black or Satin Black: Timeless, modern, and hides frames beautifully. Perfect for colonial, French, and federation styles too.

White: Excellent if you have white shutters, curtains, or light interiors.

Monument: A popular dark grey that works well with rendered homes or darker roofs.

Surfmist or Silver: Clean, coastal colours for Hamptons-style or beachside homes.


You’re not limited to just those — we can match any Colorbond, Dulux, or custom colour of your choice. Some homes with extensions use painting to bring old and new windows into perfect alignment colour-wise.


—

✅ How long does the paint last?

We’re proud to say our paint systems stand the test of time.

We offer a 6-year workmanship warranty, backed by the QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission) — meaning we’re licensed, insured, and accountable. But beyond that, we’ve had projects we completed over 8.5 years ago still looking great.

That said, every home is different. Exposure to salt, harsh sun, or poor previous maintenance can impact longevity — but with correct prep and care, you can expect years of lasting performance.


—

✅ Do you spray or brush the paint on?

We exclusively use professional spray painting equipment. No brushes. No rollers.

This gives a perfect, smooth, factory-like finish. It’s how we’re able to transform older frames — including ridged or detailed colonial designs — into sleek modern features.

The spraying process happens on-site and involves masking off all surrounding surfaces, so there’s no overspray on glass, walls, or nearby items.


—

✅ Do I need to be home during the spraying?

You’re welcome to be home, but it’s not essential. During the actual spraying, we wear protective gear — and it’s best for you to be outside or out for a few hours if possible.

Once the spraying is complete, the smell typically clears quickly, and it’s safe to re-enter. We always keep you informed of the schedule so you can plan your day.


—

✅ Can you remove and paint flyscreens or security screens?

Yes. Many homes on the Gold Coast have diamond grille or steel mesh screens. We can:

Remove and re-install them

Paint them in the same colour as your frames

Re-mesh flyscreens if needed


Some clients choose to leave them off permanently, while others prefer the added security. We can quote with or without them — it’s your call.


—

✅ How long does it take?

Every home is different, depending on the number of windows, their height, access, and extras like screens or doors.

Most residential projects are completed over multiple days — often within a week for standard-sized homes and a bit longer for larger properties. We do not recommend relying on specific day counts, as weather and scope can vary.

We always provide a detailed outline when quoting so you know what to expect.


—

✅ How much does it cost to paint aluminium windows on the Gold Coast?

Pricing is based on:

The number and type of windows (single, double, triple, or bay)

Whether screens are included

The chosen colour (white, silver, and metallics incur a small premium)

Property height (two-storey homes incur extra access costs)


We have a fully automated online quote request system where you can upload photos, choose colours, note if screens are staying or being removed, and get an approximate price sent back.


—

✅ Do I need to do anything before you arrive?

We’ve made it easy — but here’s a quick checklist:

Cars: Please allow driveway or garage access if possible.

Furniture & Plants: Move small items near windows and prune back plants where needed.

Screens: Let us know if you’re removing them or if we are.

Curtains/Blinds: No need to remove — we’ll handle them carefully.

Pets: Keep them secure — gates and doors may be open during the job.

Watering: Avoid watering plants near windows the day before and day of spraying.


We also share a full customer guide before we arrive, so you feel prepared and informed.


—

✅ Do you service my suburb?

If you’re anywhere on the Gold Coast — we’ve got you covered. This includes:

Mudgeeraba, Robina, Varsity Lakes, Burleigh, Palm Beach, Tugun, Currumbin, Reedy Creek, Bonogin, Tallai, Elanora, Miami, Mermaid Beach, Mermaid Waters, Broadbeach Waters, Clear Island Waters, Bundall, Sorrento, Ashmore, Benowa, Southport, Parkwood, Arundel, Labrador, Molendinar, Nerang, Carrara, Pacific Pines, Coomera, Upper Coomera, Oxenford, Helensvale, Maudsland, Hope Island, Biggera Waters, Main Beach, Surfers Paradise, Chevron Island, Isle of Capri — and beyond.

We also repaint commercial aluminium shopfronts from Yatala to Tweed Heads, using 2-pack primers and polyurethane finishes for durability and compliance.


—

✅ What makes RepaintPro different?

We don’t just slap on paint. We’re perfectionists with a process.

✅ We mask everything with precision.

✅ We spray multiple coats — no shortcuts.

✅ We clean, sand, wipe down, and prime using high-adhesion primers.

✅ We treat your home like our own.

✅ We do not outsource our work.


You’ll often find us gently removing colonial bars, replacing window wheels, carefully masking up louvres, or spraying under porches with full protection gear on.

This isn’t house painting — this is aluminium spray work done properly.


—

✅ Can you match my new extension windows to my existing ones?

Yes — and that’s one of the main reasons people choose to repaint instead of replace.

If you’ve added a new extension or upgraded a few windows, repainting the existing ones means you can colour match exactly and keep a consistent appearance across the entire home — inside and out.

We use colour-matching systems and professional spraying techniques to achieve seamless results.


—

✅ Is it eco-friendly to repaint rather than replace?

Absolutely.

New aluminium frames can produce 15–30kg of CO₂ per square metre during manufacturing. Repainting them? Just 1.5–3kg per window.

So if you’re environmentally conscious, repainting reduces waste, avoids landfill, and gives your windows a whole new life without the footprint.


—

✅ How do I get started?

You can request a quote in two ways:

1. Online Dashboard: Upload photos of your windows, note your suburb, screen info, and colour preference. You’ll get a full quote including GST and materials.


2. Call Steve: Reach him on 0403 311 125 (text is often best — he’ll call you back once he’s out of the spray booth).
