Checklist for Your Aluminium Window Painter – Clear Island Waters

Painting aluminium windows is not a job for just any painter — especially in prestige suburbs like Clear Island Waters, where the homes are architecturally unique and the expectations are high.

If you live near The Moorings, The Capes, or along the wide waterfront blocks of Clear Island Waters, you know your property deserves the kind of finish that looks seamless — not slapped on. This guide will help you know what to look for when hiring someone to repaint your aluminium window frames.

Whether your frames are bronze, cream, faded grey, or an outdated green, here’s how to choose a painter who will do it properly — not just quickly.

✅ Insurance – It’s There to Protect YOU

Every professional takes care with their work — but when working on homes with large sliding doors, high-level windows, or waterfront views, trade insurance is essential.

A contractor without public liability insurance puts you and your home at risk if something goes wrong. Don’t just assume they’re covered — ask to see it.

At RepaintPro, we’re fully insured and never cut corners on protection or professionalism.

✅ Experience – Not Just a Paint Gun and a Ladder

Aluminium window painting looks easy on Instagram — but those glossy black frames and clean lines take decades of practice.

We’ve seen job ads looking for painters where no experience is required. That means someone with no background in painting could end up spraying your $2 million home in Clear Island Waters.

At RepaintPro, we’ve been spray painting aluminium for over 30 years — and we come from 4 generations of painters, going back over 100 years.

That means we:

Understand how powder-coated aluminium behaves

Know the correct film builds

Use proper taping and masking methods

Finish with a commercial-quality look that won’t peel or flake



—

✅ Licensing – It’s the Law in Queensland

A proper repaint of aluminium windows almost always exceeds $3,300 in value.
That means under QBCC rules, your painter must be licensed.

Some try to get around this by quoting in two parts. Others might use a mate’s licence number. This is not only dishonest — it puts you at risk if there’s a defect, injury, or insurance claim.

At RepaintPro, we list our QBCC licence on all quotes, and you can verify it online. No tricks, no misdirection.

✅ Proof of Work – Don’t Rely on Reviews Alone

Let’s face it — some online reviews are fake. But before and after photos, video footage, and timelapse clips don’t lie.

At RepaintPro, we film much of our work — especially in areas like Clear Island Waters, where detail and precision matter. We don’t give out client addresses (privacy is important), but we do share:

Taping stages

Primer application

Spray technique close-ups

Final reveal walkthroughs

Masking tape removal


You’ll find these updates posted regularly on:

✅ Specialised Aluminium Knowledge

Painting aluminium isn’t like painting walls or timber. The surface needs:

Correct sanding with the right grit

Cleaning with a wax and grease remover

A primer built for non-ferrous metals

Thin, even layers of a commercial-grade top coat


Many painters skip steps, use the wrong products, or don’t know how to prevent bubbling, flaking, or adhesion issues.

We’ve developed our own process after thousands of jobs, and we treat every window frame as part of your home’s overall aesthetic — not just something to blast with paint.


—

✅ Real Business, Real Team

Here’s how you know it’s a proper painting company:

They’ve got a real website

You can find their ABN and QBCC licence

They reply promptly

Their quotes are professional and include GST

Their vehicles are sign-written

Their painters wear uniforms

They show their work publicly, not just say “trust me”


RepaintPro ticks all of the above.

We operate across the Gold Coast full-time and our business has serviced homes in Clear Island Waters for years.

Federation-style bars

Large sliding doors

Louvres and fixed panels

Diamond grill security screens

Multiple-storey window access


We handle all of them. And we get the same smooth, uniform finish — without paint runs, missed spots, or uneven coatings.

Every job gets:

Full masking (green tape and plastic sheets)

Commercial sprayers (not rattle cans)

2–4 coats depending on exposure

Thorough cleaning before and after

Careful tape removal for that crisp final edge
