Colonial & French-Style Aluminium Window Painting Maudsland | RepaintPro

Colonial Aluminium Windows in Maudsland – Restoring Classic Style

Maudsland, set on the northern fringe of the Gold Coast hinterland, is a suburb that combines large family homes, acreage blocks, and newer estates. Across this mix of properties, one design detail often stands out: colonial and French-style aluminium windows.

These windows, with their signature bars dividing the glass into smaller panes, bring charm and character. But over the years, the original powder-coated colours — cream, primrose, bronze, or silver — fade and chalk. Instead of being a stylish feature, they can make a Maudsland property look tired and dated.

The good news? Replacing these windows isn’t necessary. With RepaintPro’s proven system, colonial aluminium windows can be professionally repainted to factory-new condition, keeping their traditional charm while updating them with modern finishes.

Why Colonial Aluminium Windows Need Specialist Painters

Repainting plain aluminium frames is one thing. Repainting colonial-style frames is another level altogether.

Here’s why:

Each window can have dozens of individual bars.

Every bar must be sanded, masked, primed, and sprayed.

Without careful work, paint bleeds, edges fray, and results look amateur.


Too often, painters try to take shortcuts by bridging masking tape across grids and spraying over bars. The problem? Once the tape is peeled, the lines are jagged and uneven.

At RepaintPro, we do the job properly. We mask around every single bar — not over them — and use specialist tapes and films that produce razor-sharp edges. With HVLP spray equipment, we lay down thin, even coats across narrow bars for a smooth, factory-quality finish.

Our Colonial Aluminium Repainting Process

Our success comes from a repeatable, meticulous process.

1. Frame Inspection

We inspect each window for:

Powder coat condition (stable, chalky, or peeling).

Contaminants such as silicone residue.

Site access (important for Maudsland’s multi-level and acreage properties).

Number of colonial bars per frame.


2. Cleaning & De-Siliconing

We clean every surface with wax and grease removers:

Removes oils, dirt, and dust.

Lifts silicone contaminants.

Ensures frames are ready for sanding.


3. Mechanical Sanding

Mechanical abrasion creates the key for primers to bond:

Orbital sanders on broad areas.

Hand sanding and abrasive pads on colonial bars.

Ensures a fully prepared surface across all profiles.


4. Masking Around Bars

The most time-consuming but essential step:

Each colonial bar masked individually.

No tape bridging or shortcuts.

Full glass coverage ensures sharp, clean results.


5. Priming

Residential colonial frames: single-pack all-surface aluminium primers.

Commercial/shopfront frames: 2-pack epoxy primers for maximum adhesion.

DFT: 30–40 microns per coat, 2 coats = 60–80 microns total.


6. Spraying Topcoats

We spray multiple thin coats using HVLP systems:

Each coat builds 25–35 microns DFT.

Smooth, streak-free finish.

Even coverage on narrow bars.

Total system film build: ~100 microns.


7. Tape Removal & Detailing

Tape is removed at the perfect stage to reveal:

Crisp, razor-sharp lines.

Colonial frames that look factory new.
