Checklist for Your Aluminium Window Painter – Mermaid Waters

✅ Insurance – It’s There to Protect YOU

Every professional takes as much care as possible — but sometimes things happen. Trade insurance is what protects your home and your investment when unexpected issues occur.

Public liability insurance isn’t optional — it’s essential. Ask to see current documentation. If they hesitate, that’s a red flag.

RepaintPro is fully insured on every job.

✅ Experience

We’ve seen painters advertising “no experience required” for franchise work. That means you could be hiring someone who just swapped careers last week and learned how to spray online.

At RepaintPro, we’ve been painting professionally for over four generations — more than 100 years of accumulated trade knowledge — and more than 30 of those have been spent specialising in spray painting aluminium windows.

We know the ins and outs of this process. From masking and weather conditions to surface prep and film build — this isn’t something you learn in a weekend.


—

✅ Licensing

In Queensland, any job over $3,300 (including aluminium window painting) requires a licensed contractor under the QBCC.

Some painters try to dodge this by splitting invoices. Others use a mate’s licence number. Both are illegal.

The licence holder must match the person doing the work — and the name on your invoice.

RepaintPro is QBCC licensed and proudly lists our licence number on all quotes and materials.

✅ Proof of Previous Work

Photos, videos, and real-world examples matter more than reviews.

Reviews can be purchased. Visual proof cannot.

✅ Understanding Aluminium and Spraying Techniques

Aluminium is a non-ferrous metal and requires a completely different painting approach to timber or render.

We:

Degrease, clean, and sand all surfaces

Apply primers designed for aluminium

Build up multiple spray coats to achieve durability and finish depth


Using house paint, skipping prep, or applying too-thick coatings leads to failures within months.

This is a specialised trade. RepaintPro gets it right.


—

✅ Business Transparency

Too many painters operate from the back of a ute with no ABN, no website, and no way to verify who they are.

Check these details:

ABN and QBCC licence on quotes?

Real business name?

Written scope of work?

Signwritten vans and uniforms?


We tick every box.

RepaintPro is a registered business with a reputation built on visibility and accountability.


—

✅ Consistency of Finish

No flaking. No patches. No “good enough.”

At RepaintPro, we don’t post one “best job” online — we post nearly every job.

Colonial frames? Sliders? Bay windows? Louvres?

We deliver the same even, clean, professional finish every single time.
