Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames for repainting in Arundel?
A: Frames are cleaned thoroughly, sanded for adhesion, primed, and sprayed with multiple thin coats.

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding before spraying?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks the surface of the powder coat so primers bond correctly.

Q: Do you remove windows before repainting?
A: No. Frames remain in place. Sliding panels are removed, serviced, sprayed, and reinstalled.

Q: How do you protect glass during spraying?
A: Every pane is carefully masked with tape and protective film for razor-sharp edges.

Q: Can flyscreens and security doors be repainted as well?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if required.

Q: How do you avoid overspray on Arundel’s brick and rendered homes?
A: By masking all surrounding surfaces — brickwork, render, tiles, decks, and gardens — before spraying begins.

Q: Do you spray both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both sides can be painted for a consistent look.

Q: How many coats are usually applied?
A: Generally 2–4 thin coats for durability and full coverage.

Q: Can homeowners in Arundel repaint their own aluminium windows?
A: It’s possible, but without sanding, specialist primers, and HVLP spraying, results won’t last.

Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Arundel’s conditions?
A: With proper prep, painted frames last many years. Our work is backed by a 6-year QBCC warranty.

Q: Does Arundel’s inland location affect durability?

A: No. Both colours perform equally well when prepped and sprayed correctly.

Q: Will painted aluminium peel or chip?
A: Not when frames are sanded, primed, and sprayed properly.

Q: Can scratches be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Damaged areas are smoothed and primed before respraying.

Q: Can previously painted aluminium be resprayed?
A: Yes. Old paint is sanded back, primed, and resprayed.

A: Yes. HVLP spraying produces a professional, factory-like finish.
