Checklist for Your Aluminium Window Painter – Tallebudgera

Looking to upgrade your aluminium window frames in Tallebudgera without replacing them entirely? Choosing the right painter can make or break your project. Whether it’s a small update or a full home transformation, use this checklist to make sure you’re getting a skilled, licensed, and trustworthy professional — not just someone with a spray gun and a flashy ad.


—

✅ Insurance – It’s There to Protect YOU

Even when the work is carried out with care, unexpected issues can happen on-site. That’s why it’s vital that your painter carries public liability insurance.

It protects you and your property.

It’s a sign of a legitimate, professional business.

If a contractor refuses or stalls when asked for proof — that’s a red flag.


At RepaintPro, we’re fully insured and transparent. You won’t need to chase us for paperwork.


—

✅ Experience – Real Background, Not Just a Brand Name

We’ve seen ads recruiting painters for aluminium window franchises with the words: “No experience required!”

That should worry any homeowner.

It could mean the person turning up has no painting background at all.

You might get someone whose “training” was just a crash course last week.


RepaintPro is a fourth-generation family painting business with over 100 years of trade experience, and more than 30 years specialising in spray painting. When we spray your windows, it’s with experience — not guesswork.


—

✅ QBCC Licensing – A Legal Must

In Queensland, any job over $3300 must be done by a licensed painter.

Breaking up invoices to sneak under the legal threshold is illegal.

Using someone else’s licence number? Also illegal.


RepaintPro is fully licensed with the QBCC, and our licence number is always included on your quote. We don’t cut corners, and we don’t play games with compliance.

✅ Proof of Previous Work – Real Results, Not Just Words

Some painters rely on stock images or generic before-and-afters that could be anyone’s work. Others hide behind paid reviews.

We believe in showing real work, from real homes on the Gold Coast — including Tallebudgera.

We post before, during, and after photos and videos on every type of aluminium window project.

You’ll see clean masking, professional spraying, and up-close finishes that speak for themselves.

✅ Aluminium-Specific Systems

Painting aluminium isn’t like painting a wall or timber fascia.

Aluminium needs chemical cleaning and sanding.

It must be primed with bonding or etch primers built for non-ferrous metals.

It needs multiple coats of high-quality finish at the correct thickness (known as film build).


We use:

A full prep system with degreasing, sanding, and wipe-down

2 coats of primer tailored for aluminium

2–4 coats of finish, depending on the colour and condition


We’re not using Bunnings gear or one-coat shortcuts. This is a purpose-built system designed to last — especially in Tallebudgera’s coastal weather.


—

✅ Look for a Real Business

It might sound obvious, but many painters operate from the back of a ute with no business structure, no ABN, and no traceability.

Before you hire:

Check for a registered business name

Confirm they have a QBCC licence and insurance

Look for an active website and social media presence

Ask for a written quote with a clear business name


RepaintPro checks all the boxes. We’ve been in business for decades, and we show up in uniform, with a branded van, and a transparent paper trail.


—

✅ Consistent Results – Not Just One Good Job

Every window is different — colonial bars, louvre panels, sliding doors, angled frames — and every house presents different challenges.

If a painter shows you one perfect before/after but can’t back it up with more, be cautious.

RepaintPro’s finish is:

Consistent across all frame types

Accurate in colour match

Smooth and even, with no runs or overspray


That consistency is the difference between a lucky job and a proven process.

✅ Final Word

There are lots of people offering window painting on the Gold Coast.

But not all of them are licensed.

Not all of them are experienced.

Not all of them understand how to repaint aluminium properly.

So if you’re in Tallebudgera and you’re ready to update your home’s appearance — use this checklist, and don’t be afraid to ask the tough questions.

And when you’re ready to go ahead?
