Commercial Fit-Out Aluminium Frame Spraying | Gold Coast

The Role of Aluminium Frames in a Commercial Fit-Out

On the Gold Coast, first impressions are everything. Whether it’s a shopfront, office, showroom, or industrial unit, the aluminium frames around your glass set the tone before a client even steps inside.

The problem? Many frames are still stuck in dated bronze, silver, or primrose finishes from decades past. In a brand-new fit-out, those colours clash with modern design and undermine the whole project.

Replacement isn’t always an option — it’s expensive, disruptive, and slows down construction schedules. The smarter solution is aluminium frame spraying. Done properly, it delivers a factory-quality finish in any colour, seamlessly tied into the new fit-out.

Why Spraying Aluminium Frames Is a Technical Process

Aluminium is one of the most difficult substrates to coat. Unlike porous materials such as timber or plaster, aluminium is:

Non-porous and slick – paint won’t naturally stick.

Often powder-coated or anodised – creating a hard surface that resists coatings.

Exposed to harsh conditions – UV, cleaners, and physical contact in high-traffic areas.


Because of this, not all paints or methods will work. DIY attempts or cheap “quick coats” fail fast, leading to peeling and costly rework.

That’s why RepaintPro uses a proven commercial coating system designed for aluminium and industrial environments.

Our Step-by-Step Process for Commercial Fit-Out Spraying

We follow a strict process to ensure durability, efficiency, and professional results.

1. Site Preparation

Floors, joinery, and signage are protected with industrial-grade masking materials.

Glass is fully sheeted and taped, ensuring clean sight lines.

Work can be staged or scheduled after-hours to keep your fit-out on time.


2. Surface Cleaning

Frames are scrubbed with wax and grease removers to eliminate oils, dust, and silicone residue.

The “two-rag” method ensures contaminants are lifted and removed, not smeared.


3. Mechanical Sanding

Orbital sanders (P320–P400 grit) are used on flat surfaces.

Abrasive pads are applied to edges, corners, and reveals.

This step creates microscopic scratches for primer adhesion.


4. Priming with 2-Pack Epoxy

A 2-pack epoxy primer is applied in 2 coats.

Dry Film Thickness (DFT): approx. 60–80 microns across both coats.

Provides chemical bonding to aluminium and corrosion resistance.


5. Spraying Topcoats – 2-Pack Polyurethane

Multiple thin coats of 2-pack polyurethane are applied.

Each coat builds 25–35 microns DFT, with a total system thickness of ~100–120 microns.

Results in a tough, UV-stable, chemical- and abrasion-resistant finish.

Applied with HVLP spray equipment for a smooth, factory-style appearance.


6. Detailing & Tape Removal

Masking is removed at the perfect time to avoid tearing.

Crisp, razor-sharp edges are revealed between aluminium and glass.

Why Use 2-Pack Systems for Commercial Fit-Outs?

Epoxy primers chemically bond to aluminium, creating a strong foundation.

Polyurethane topcoats provide UV stability, gloss retention, and impact resistance.

Combined, they outperform single-pack paints in every metric.


This system is used worldwide in automotive, marine, and architectural coatings — and it’s why your frames look and perform like new for years.
