Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames before painting in Ashmore?
A: Frames are cleaned with degreasers, sanded to create adhesion, primed, and resprayed with multiple thin coats.

Q: Do all frames need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding is vital to break the surface so primers bond properly.

A: Yes. Both sides can be painted for a consistent finish.

Q: How many coats do you apply?
A: Usually 2–4 thin spray coats for durability and full coverage.
