Aluminium Window Repainting Gold Coast

A Complete Guide to Transforming Aluminium Frames Onsite with RepaintPro

Introduction

If you’re looking at your faded aluminium windows and wondering if it’s worth replacing them — stop. With the right expertise, your existing frames can be professionally repainted onsite to look brand new again.

Here at RepaintPro, we specialise in aluminium window painting across the Gold Coast, transforming tired, mismatched, or outdated frames into sleek, modern finishes that match your updated exterior.

In this detailed post, we’ll walk you through our entire process, explain why onsite repainting is a smart investment, and show you why more homeowners and builders across Robina, Mudgeeraba, Burleigh, Varsity Lakes, and beyond are turning to RepaintPro.

Why Repainting Aluminium Windows Is a Smarter Choice Than Replacing Them

When aluminium windows fade or no longer match your home’s colour scheme, most people assume their only option is full replacement. But in reality, repainting is faster, more cost-effective, and less disruptive.

Key benefits of repainting:

Save thousands over replacement costs No need to remove windows or break seals Custom colour matching for your walls or trims Faster turnaround — often inside 5 days Less waste and disruption to your home

2. Surface Washing and Degreasing

Before any painting begins, we thoroughly clean your aluminium frames. This removes:

Mould, mildew, and dust Road grime and air pollutants Oils and contaminants from fingers or prior products

We use a dedicated cleaning solution and water pressure rinse, ensuring every inch is ready for adhesion.

3. Sanding – The Most Important Step

We manually sand every frame using abrasive pads and orbital sanders to create a mechanical key for our primer. This is vital for long-term adhesion.

Why this matters:

Powder-coated aluminium is non-porous Without sanding, paint will lift or flake in months Our sanding guarantees a grip between substrate and primer

4. Masking and Taping

Here’s where experience really counts. We take the time to:

Mask off every inch of surrounding glass, brick, or render Use green masking tape to ensure no bleed Apply full masking film to protect your property

This creates clean, sharp edges and prevents overspray.

5. Priming

We apply a dedicated aluminium primer, chosen based on your colour choice:

White primer for Surfmist, Dune, Pearl White, etc. Black primer for Monument, Woodland Grey, or custom darks

The primer is sprayed in thin, even coats using our HVLP or airless spray equipment.

6. Finish Coats (2-Coat System)

We apply two coats of top-finish paint after primer cures. Our paints are:

UV-stable, designed for outdoor exposure Acrylic-based or 2PAC for commercial durability Mixed to match Colorbond or custom colours

The finish is silky-smooth — no brush marks or roller texture — because we spray every coat.

7. Tape Removal and Final Touches

Once the final coat has flashed off, we remove all tape and paper carefully to reveal perfect, crisp lines.

We then:

Inspect every frame Clean edges Refit flyscreens or doors (if included) Perform a final client walk-through

Feature Suburb Spotlight: Burleigh Heads

We recently completed a full aluminium window recolour in Burleigh Heads for a modern two-storey duplex. The original frames were faded silver and clashing badly with the fresh white walls.

Here’s what we did:

Removed all flyscreens Prepped and sanded every frame Sprayed in black primer Applied two finish coats of Colorbond Monument Reinstalled cleaned flyscreens

The whole project took 4.5 days, and the transformation was stunning. The client’s reaction?

“I honestly didn’t expect them to look this sharp — it looks like a whole new build.”
