Preparation & Process

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

Q: Do all frames need sanding before painting?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks through the powder-coated surface so primers bond correctly.

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

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

Q: Can you repaint flyscreens and security doors?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if required.

Q: How do you avoid overspray on Chevron Island homes and apartments?
A: We mask all surfaces — render, tiles, carpets, decking, and gardens — before spraying.

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

Q: How many coats do you apply?
A: Generally 2–4 coats for complete coverage and durability.

Q: Can homeowners repaint aluminium windows themselves?
A: You can, but without sanding, specialist primers, and HVLP spraying, results don’t last.
