Colour Matching Aluminium Windows: Seamless Results When Renovating or Extending Your Home

Colour Matching Aluminium Windows: Seamless Results When Renovating or Extending Your Home

Whether you’re updating the front façade, adding an extension out the back, or simply modernising the look of your home, one thing that’s often overlooked is the difference in colour between old and new window frames. On the Gold Coast, where we see a mix of classic coastal homes and sleek modern builds, this contrast can really stand out—especially when older aluminium windows are a creamy beige or faded silver, and new additions feature sleek matte black or modern charcoal frames.

At RepaintPro, we specialise in aluminium window painting that bridges the gap between old and new. And when it comes to colour matching, we’re not just guessing or “going close.” We’re delivering seamless results that make your renovation look cohesive—as if everything was installed at the same time.

Why Colour Matching Matters in Renovations

If you’ve recently renovated or extended your property, chances are you’ve experienced what we call the window mismatch problem. You might have brand new windows at the back of the house in black, monument, or white—and older front windows in primrose, federation green, or faded anodised aluminium.

The result?

???? A visually disjointed home exterior that screams “half renovated.”

And while many homeowners think they’re stuck with the contrast unless they rip out and replace their old windows, the truth is: you don’t need to replace them. With the right prep work and premium spraying techniques, we can repaint your existing aluminium frames to exactly match your new ones.

The Difference Is in the Details

We’re not here to sell you anything.
But we are here to solve the problem of what to do with those ugly windows that don’t match anything anymore!

What sets RepaintPro apart is our attention to the little things that most other painters skip:

✅ We don’t paint around flyscreens – we remove them, spray them separately, or remesh them after repainting.

✅ We custom tape the glass to maintain factory-style crisp lines—no overspray or jagged edges.

✅ We colour match using real-world samples and gloss readings, not just guessing based on a colour chart.

✅ We handle everything on-site—no removing windows or disrupting your home.


So if you’re trying to blend your front windows with a new rear extension—or vice versa—we’ll make sure the finished result feels like a single, unified design.

Common Mismatches We Fix

We see this constantly across the Gold Coast. Some of the most common scenarios where colour matching becomes crucial:

➤ Renovating the Rear of the House

You’ve extended out the back with new black-framed stacker doors or louvre windows—but your front aluminium windows are still powder-coated in federation cream. We match your old frames to your new ones so it all flows.

➤ Updating the Façade

A new portico or entryway upgrade often features fresh paint and new doors—but the windows right beside them look yellowed and dated. We repaint those windows in gloss black, monument, or matching pearl white.

➤ Changing Roofing or Gutters

Colourbond roof or gutter updates often shift the whole palette of the home. Your old silver windows might clash badly with your new Surfmist or Woodland Grey colour scheme. We realign the windows to fit.

➤ Replacing Only a Few Windows

Maybe budget or layout only allowed a few windows to be replaced. Instead of having a mix of old and new, we paint the old ones to match the new product’s look.

What Colours Can Be Matched?

We can match virtually any colour. Some of the most commonly requested finishes include:

Monument – Popular for modern extensions, fences, and frames.

Pearl White / Surfmist – Crisp and clean, used across many rendered homes.

Charcoal / Black Satin / Gloss Black – A true favourite for contemporary styling.

Dune / Jasper / Woodland Grey – Earth tones often seen in federation or coastal homes.


Whether your colour is a standard Colorbond finish or a custom powder coat, we’ll match it. We use high-adhesion primers and professional-grade topcoats to ensure long-term durability—even in coastal conditions.

How We Achieve Seamless Results

The secret to colour-matched repainting isn’t just “spraying a similar shade.” It’s about replicating:

1. Hue – The right base colour family.


2. Chroma – The richness or dullness of that colour.


3. Gloss Level – Whether your new windows are matte, satin, or gloss.



At RepaintPro, we assess all three before choosing the primer and topcoat. And because we spray using HVLP systems (not brushes or rollers), the texture is flawless—matching the sheen and finish of new frames exactly.

Real-World Example: Renovation in Mudgeeraba

We recently completed a job in Mudgeeraba where a family had added a new living area extension and pool. The new back windows were installed in Dulux “Black Ace,” but their front-of-house windows were 20+ years old and painted in an off-cream that had yellowed over time.

Instead of replacing those front windows (which would have cost over $12,000), we carefully taped, sanded, primed, and sprayed them in a matching black satin. The result? A completely unified look that you’d swear came from the same manufacturer.

What About Warranty and Durability?

All our work comes with a 6-year workmanship warranty, backed by our QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission) licence. That means we’re legally bound to uphold quality and longevity in every job we do.

Our process isn’t just a slap-on coat. It includes:

✅ Wax and grease removal

✅ Mechanical sanding

✅ Feathering existing coatings

✅ Two full coats of Norglass All Surface Primer

✅ 2–4 coats of professional topcoat in the matched colour

✅ Touch-ups and checks after tape removal


We don’t skip steps, because shortcuts show.

Why Painting Beats Replacing in Colour Matching

If you’re thinking “Why not just replace the windows?” here’s what you should consider:

Factor Replacing Windows Repainting Windows

Cost $$$$ $
Timeline Often weeks/months Usually completed in stages
Colour matching May require full home update Targeted, seamless blending
Home disruption Major (builders, dust, noise) Minimal – no removal needed
Environmental impact High (aluminium + glass waste) Very low (reuse existing frames)


You’re not just saving money—you’re saving waste, time, and the integrity of your home’s structure.
