Checklist for Your Aluminium Window Painter – Upper Coomera

If you live in Upper Coomera and you’ve been staring at those old cream aluminium windows, faded flyscreens, or dated sliding doors — repainting them might be the upgrade you didn’t know you needed. But who you choose to do the job makes all the difference.

Painting aluminium windows isn’t the same as painting walls or fences. It requires specialised prep, correct products, and — most importantly — experience.

Here’s your no-nonsense checklist to help you choose a qualified aluminium window painter in Upper Coomera, including the surrounding areas of Coomera, Pimpama, Helensvale, Oxenford, and Maudsland.

✅ Insurance – There to Protect YOU

Every professional tradesperson should carry public liability insurance. No exceptions.

It’s not just a box to tick — it means you’re protected in the rare event something unexpected happens on-site.

Ask to see current insurance documentation. If a painter dodges the question or says “don’t worry about it,” that’s a red flag. Reputable painters have it ready to go.

✅ Experience – Real Spray Work, Not a Crash Course

Let’s be blunt. Spraying aluminium windows is not something you pick up in a weekend workshop.

There are franchises out there advertising “no experience required” to recruit new painters. That means someone who was working at a cafe last month could be on your job next week — holding a spray gun and working on your house with minimal training.

At RepaintPro, we bring:

Over 100 years of family painting experience

Over 30 years of aluminium spray painting expertise

A team that lives and breathes professional finish work


We’ve sprayed thousands of aluminium windows across the Gold Coast and Brisbane. We know how aluminium reacts, how to properly mask and protect your home, and how to build up a clean, lasting finish.

✅ QBCC Licensing – Required by Law

If your painting job costs over $3,300, it’s a legal requirement in Queensland that your painter holds a valid QBCC licence.

Some dodgy operators try to get around this by:

Splitting the job into “separate quotes”

Borrowing someone else’s licence number

Operating under another business name


Here’s what matters:

The licence must match the person or business doing the work

The entire project cost counts — not just one invoice

A proper QBCC-licensed painter will list their licence on your quote


RepaintPro is fully licensed with the Queensland Building and Construction Commission. No games. No tricks.


—

✅ Proof of Previous Work – Not Just Stock Images

A good painter should be able to show you what they do.

Photos are great

Videos are better

Seeing the masking, priming, and spraying steps is even better


At RepaintPro, we never use stock photos or borrowed images. Every photo and video on our website, Instagram, or Facebook is from real local jobs, shot by us.

We don’t share customer addresses, but you’ll see full transformations — before, during, and after — so you know exactly what to expect.

We’re proud of our work. We show it off because it speaks for itself.

✅ Product and Process Knowledge

Aluminium is a different beast. If your painter doesn’t understand that, walk away.

Here’s what a proper aluminium window painter should be able to explain:

What kind of degreaser they use before sanding

What type of primer works on powder-coated aluminium

The number of coats and the film build they aim for

How they protect your glass and walls from overspray

What spray gun system they use (HVLP, air-assisted, etc.)

Whether they spray in controlled conditions


At RepaintPro, we follow a tested process:

1. Degrease all frames to remove wax, silicone, and contaminants


2. Sand to break the glaze and create adhesion


3. Apply primer designed for non-ferrous metals


4. Spray multiple thin topcoats with proper flash-off times


5. Achieve a commercial-grade, long-lasting finish



No shortcuts. No skipped steps.

✅ Ask the Hard Questions

Most people don’t know what to ask when getting quotes. Here’s your cheat sheet:

Do you have a QBCC licence?

Are you fully insured with public liability?

Can I see videos or photos of past aluminium jobs?

What’s your prep process?

What kind of primer and topcoat do you use?

How many coats will be applied?

Do you know the expected film thickness?

Do you do all the work yourself, or subcontract?


RepaintPro answers all of these openly. We believe in full transparency.


—

✅ Proper Business Presence

Real businesses don’t just exist on Gumtree or Facebook Marketplace.

We have:

A real, functioning website

A clear quote form with photo uploads

An Instagram page updated with daily stories and reels

A Facebook page full of job walk-throughs

A YouTube channel with spraying videos


We issue proper quotes, with our ABN, QBCC licence, and all the details upfront.

You’ll also see our signwritten vans around Upper Coomera, Coomera, and Maudsland regularly — we don’t work out of unmarked utes.


—

✅ Finish Quality and Consistency

Here’s where most painters fall short.

They might get one window right — but the others look patchy. Or they rush the masking. Or they only do one thin topcoat to save time and money.

We don’t do that.

At RepaintPro, we:

Use green professional tape for clean edges

Spray 2–4 coats depending on the colour and substrate

Maintain even, uniform spray patterns

Finish with a flat, satin, or gloss look based on your preference

Never leave overspray on glass, render, or decking


The job is only done when we’re proud to put our name on it.
