Colonial & French-Style Aluminium Window Painting Worongary | RepaintPro

Traditional Charm Meets Modern Finishes in Worongary

Worongary is one of those hinterland suburbs where acreage living meets family convenience. With tree-lined streets, large lifestyle properties, and homes ranging from 80s classics to modern retreats, the suburb is full of architectural variety. One detail that appears again and again is the colonial or French-style aluminium window.

These windows, with their crisscrossed bars dividing each pane, once symbolised elegance and heritage styling. But many of them in Worongary are still stuck in dated colours like primrose, bronze, or faded white. As powder coat breaks down and UV exposure causes chalking, these windows can make homes look tired instead of charming.

The good news: you don’t have to replace them. With RepaintPro’s proven system, colonial aluminium windows in Worongary can be resprayed to look as though they were newly manufactured — crisp, sharp, and modern.

Why Colonial Aluminium Windows Need Specialist Repainting

Unlike standard windows, colonial frames are labour-intensive:

Dozens of thin bars per window.

Every bar requires sanding, priming, and spraying.

Masking must be meticulous, otherwise paint bleeds or lines look ragged.


Many painters attempt shortcuts, running tape over the grids and spraying over the top. When tape is pulled off, the edges are uneven and unprofessional.

At RepaintPro, we take the time to mask around every individual bar. Combined with our HVLP spraying system, the result is:

Sharp lines around every colonial grid.

Smooth, even film build on narrow profiles.

A professional, factory-quality finish.


This is what separates specialists from general painters — and it’s why Worongary homeowners call us when colonial windows need attention.

Our Colonial Aluminium Repainting Process

Every successful repaint follows a carefully structured system.

1. Inspection & Assessment

We inspect your frames for:

Powder coat condition (chalking, peeling, or intact).

Contaminants like silicone or oil.

Access challenges (many Worongary homes are multi-level or on sloping blocks).

Number of colonial bars, to plan masking time.


2. Cleaning & De-Siliconing

We clean using wax and grease removers:

Strips oils, dust, and silicone residue.

Two-rag method ensures contaminants are lifted, not spread.


3. Sanding

Mechanical sanding is vital:

Orbital sanding on wider surfaces.

Abrasive pads and hand sanding on bars and profiles.

Ensures primers can bond securely.


4. Masking Around Bars

The most critical stage:

Each bar masked around individually.

No bridging tape shortcuts.

Specialist tapes and films protect glass for razor-sharp lines.


5. Priming

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

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

DFT: 30–40 microns per coat, two coats total ~60–80 microns.


6. Spraying Topcoats

Applied with HVLP equipment:

Multiple thin coats for smooth coverage.

Each coat ~25–35 microns DFT, total ~100 microns.

Even colour across narrow bars.


7. Tape Removal & Detailing

Removed at the perfect stage to reveal:

Clean edges.

Sharp, professional finish.

Windows that look factory-new.
