Preparation & Process

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

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding?
A: Yes. Sanding is essential to break through the powder coating and ensure primers bond.

A: Every pane is masked with tape and protective film to ensure razor-sharp edges.

A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if needed.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both can be sprayed for a consistent appearance.

Q: How many coats are normally applied?
A: Usually 2–4 thin spray coats for complete coverage and durability.
