Can You Change the Colour of Aluminium Windows? | Gold Coast

The short answer is yes — you can change the colour of aluminium windows, and when it’s done properly, the results look like the frames were manufactured in your chosen colour.

Many Gold Coast homes still have aluminium windows in outdated colours like mission brown, bronze, primrose, or faded powder coats from the 80s and 90s. Business shopfronts often suffer the same fate. Replacing them is expensive, disruptive, and unnecessary. Repainting is the smarter solution.

At RepaintPro, we’ve perfected a system to change the colour of aluminium windows on-site across every Gold Coast suburb — from Mudgeeraba, Robina, Varsity Lakes, and Burleigh, through to Southport, Labrador, Helensvale, and Yatala.

The Process of Changing Aluminium Window Colours

Changing the colour isn’t as simple as applying a coat of paint. Aluminium needs the right preparation and products to achieve a durable, factory-quality finish.

Step 1: Clean and Degrease

Frames are scrubbed with wax and grease removers to strip away oils, silicone, and contaminants.

Step 2: Sanding

Every frame is mechanically sanded to create adhesion. This step is essential.

Step 3: Masking

Glass, tiles, render, bricks, and tracks are carefully masked. This ensures only the aluminium gets sprayed.

Step 4: Priming

Residential – We use high-quality single-pack primers designed for aluminium.

Commercial/Industrial – We use 2-pack epoxy primers for maximum durability.


Step 5: Spraying Topcoats

Using HVLP spray equipment, we apply multiple thin coats of your chosen colour. The finish is smooth, sharp, and looks factory-made.

Step 6: Screens and Extras

Security screens, flyscreens, and sliding doors can also be repainted or re-meshed to match your new frame colour.

Popular Colour Choices on the Gold Coast

Silver & Grey Tones – Contemporary and versatile.

Can You Change Aluminium Window Colours Inside and Out?

Yes. Frames can be painted both externally and internally. Many clients update both sides for a consistent finish inside and outside the home.

Residential vs Commercial Colour Changes

Homes – Most clients choose modern darks or coastal whites to match new renovations.

Commercial – Offices, shopfronts, and industrial units often require specific colours for branding or corporate schemes. All commercial work is completed with 2-pack primers and polyurethane finishes for heavy-duty durability.

Can You Change Federation or Colonial-Style Windows?

Yes. Even windows with colonial bars or French-style detail can be masked and sprayed with precision. We mask around the bars, not over them, ensuring crisp edges and no tearing during tape removal.
