If you’re upgrading your home in Elanora — maybe modernising an older brick house, refreshing a lakeside property, or giving a 90s build a new lease on life — one detail can make or break your finished look: your aluminium window frames.

It’s amazing how often we see freshly painted walls, landscaped gardens, and brand-new kitchens… but the original faded or outdated aluminium windows are left untouched. They stand out for all the wrong reasons — clashing with your new finishes and instantly dating the property.

That’s where we come in. At RepaintPro, we’ve spent decades perfecting our aluminium window painting process for Gold Coast homeowners. 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!

Why Aluminium Windows in Elanora Need Extra Care

Elanora sits between the coast and rolling hinterland, which gives it a mix of conditions that aluminium frames need to withstand:

• Salt in the air from nearby beaches like Palm Beach and Currumbin
• Strong sun exposure throughout the year, fading powder coating and sealants
• Humidity and rainfall that can cause oxidation or chalky residue

Leaving your frames untreated means they’ll continue to degrade in colour and texture, even if structurally they’re still fine. Our process not only updates the look but seals the frames against further damage.

Our Proven Aluminium Window Painting Process

After 100 years of painting knowledge passed down through our family business, we know the only way to get lasting results is to follow a thorough, multi-step process.

Step 1 — Site Inspection & Planning
We assess the property, the condition of the frames, and how to best stage the work to minimise disruption. This also includes planning how we’ll protect your gardens, floors, and surrounding areas.

Step 2 — Surface Cleaning
We remove surface grime, salt deposits, and airborne pollutants using specialised cleaning agents. This step ensures nothing interferes with primer adhesion.

Step 3 — Mechanical Sanding
We mechanically abrade the surface to create a strong profile for the primer to grip. This isn’t a quick scuff — it’s a thorough sanding that addresses every corner and edge.

Step 4 — Wax & Grease Removal
We wipe down the sanded frames with wax and grease remover to eliminate any remaining contaminants.

Step 5 — Masking & Protection
Our team uses high-grade masking tape and protective plastic sheeting to shield glass, walls, floors, and surrounding surfaces. This is especially important if you have security or colonial bars — we mask around them, not over them, for a cleaner finish.

Step 6 — Priming
We apply a specialist adhesion primer designed for aluminium and powder-coated surfaces. This locks into the frame surface and provides a foundation for the colour coats.

Step 7 — Colour Coating
We apply 2–4 coats of premium exterior paint using HVLP (high-volume, low-pressure) spray equipment. This method delivers an even, factory-smooth finish without overspray.

Step 8 — Detail & Tape Removal
Once the paint is fully set, we carefully remove all masking tape and inspect every line to ensure a sharp edge.

Step 9 — Final Walkthrough
We walk you through the finished job so you can see the transformation for yourself.

Colour Recommendations for Elanora

We see a lot of Elanora homeowners choose colours that complement both coastal and hinterland settings. Our top recommendations:

• Satin Black — A timeless, modern choice that frames views beautifully and contrasts well with lighter walls.
• Monument — A deep charcoal that works equally well on coastal and bush settings.
• Classic White — Fresh and clean, perfect for Hamptons or modern minimalist styles.
• Surfmist — A softer neutral that pairs perfectly with sandy tones and light exteriors.

Why Our Process Lasts

Some painters claim aluminium window painting doesn’t last — but that’s usually because they skip key preparation steps or use the wrong products. We’ve revisited jobs 8+ years after completion and seen our coatings still performing beautifully.

Our work is backed by a 6-year workmanship warranty through the QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission), giving you peace of mind.

A Local Elanora Case Study

Recently, we worked on a home near Pine Lake that had cream aluminium windows dating back to the late 90s. The owners were renovating with new exterior render and landscaping, but the windows clashed badly.

We:

• Removed flyscreens for separate respraying
• Fully cleaned, sanded, and primed the frames
• Applied two coats of Monument for a sophisticated coastal look
• Reinstalled screens and left the property spotless

The result? The windows looked brand new, and the home’s overall street appeal was transformed.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long will the job take?
Most Elanora projects are completed within a week for an average-sized home. Larger or multi-storey homes may take longer.

Do I need to be home?
You’re welcome to be home, but due to the protective gear and spray process, it’s often best to be outside for a few hours or out for the day.

Can you remove security screens?
Yes — we can remove, respray, and reinstall them.

What about colonial bars?
We mask around them, not over them, for a professional finish.

Do you use 2-pack products?
For residential jobs, we use specialist exterior-grade paints, not 2-pack. We reserve 2-pack finishes for commercial projects.
