Preparation & Process

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

Q: Do all frames need sanding before spraying?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks through the surface so primers adhere properly.

A: No. Frames stay in place. Large sliding panels are removed, serviced, sprayed, and reinstalled.

Q: How is glass protected during spraying?
A: Every pane is masked with tape and protective film, leaving razor-sharp lines.

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

Q: How many coats are usually applied?
