Restoring Colonial Charm in Mudgeeraba with Aluminium Window Repainting

Mudgeeraba is a suburb that beautifully balances the character of the Gold Coast hinterland with modern family living. Many homes here — from established acreage properties to classic estates — feature colonial or French-style aluminium windows. With their multiple grid bars dividing each pane of glass, these frames create a traditional look that adds character and charm.

But time takes its toll. The once-popular cream, bronze, or primrose colours fade, chalk, or date the home. Instead of elegant, the windows end up making the property look tired. Replacing them is costly, disruptive, and unnecessary.

At RepaintPro, we specialise in colonial aluminium window repainting across Mudgeeraba. With meticulous masking and HVLP spraying, we restore windows to a sharp, factory-new finish that enhances the look of your home while keeping its classic style intact.




Why Colonial Aluminium Windows Need a Specialist

Standard aluminium windows are relatively straightforward to repaint. Colonial and French-style windows, however, come with unique challenges:

Multiple bars – dozens of narrow strips crossing each pane.

More masking required – every grid line must be masked individually.

Higher precision – spraying thin profiles evenly requires skill.


Too often, painters cut corners by bridging tape across several panes and spraying over the bars. When tape is removed, the lines are rough, uneven, and unprofessional.

At RepaintPro, we do things differently:

We mask around each bar individually, not over them.

We use the right tapes and films to avoid bleed.

We spray multiple thin coats for even coverage.

We remove tape at the perfect moment for razor-sharp edges.


This is why colonial window repainting in Mudgeeraba needs specialists — and why homeowners choose us.




Our Colonial Aluminium Repainting Process

We follow a proven step-by-step system to deliver long-lasting, flawless finishes.

1. Inspection & Assessment

We begin by inspecting your colonial frames:

Powder coat condition (chalking, peeling, intact).

Any silicone, oil, or grease contamination.

Site access (acreage homes often need ladders or scaffolding).

Number of bars per frame, so we can plan masking and spraying time.


2. Cleaning & De-Siliconing

We thoroughly clean all surfaces using wax and grease removers:

Strips away oils, contaminants, and dust.

Removes stubborn silicone from window edges.

Ensures a clean surface before sanding.


3. Sanding

Every frame, including every colonial bar, is sanded to create adhesion:

Orbital sanders on wider sections.

Hand sanding with abrasive pads on grids and corners.

No surface is left glossy or unprepared.


4. Masking Around the Bars

This is where our precision makes the difference:

Each bar is masked individually.

We don’t cut corners with bridging tape.

Full glass protection ensures sharp, clean edges.


5. Priming

Residential homes: single-pack all-surface primers formulated for aluminium.

Commercial sites: 2-pack epoxy primers for maximum adhesion and durability.

Film build: 30–40 microns per coat, 2 coats for 60–80 microns DFT.


6. Spraying Topcoats

Using HVLP spray systems, we apply multiple thin coats:

Smooth, factory-style finish.

Even coverage on narrow colonial bars.

No brush marks or roller texture.

Each coat builds 25–35 microns, for ~100 microns total.


7. Tape Removal & Detailing

Tape is removed at the right time, revealing:

Crisp, clean sight lines.

Sharp bars with no bleed or rough edges.

Frames that look brand new.





Why Repainting Beats Replacement in Mudgeeraba

Replacing colonial aluminium windows is rarely necessary. Repainting offers multiple advantages:

Cost-effective – A fraction of replacement cost.

No disruption – Frames stay in place, no need for glass removal.

Eco-friendly – Avoids adding to landfill.

Faster turnaround – Completed far quicker than new manufacture.

Unlimited colours – Choose modern tones beyond the old cream and bronze.


For Mudgeeraba homes — especially acreage builds with many colonial windows — repainting saves thousands while modernising instantly.
