Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames before repainting in Isle of Capri?
A: Frames are cleaned with degreasers, sanded for adhesion, primed, and sprayed with multiple coats.

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks the old powder coat surface so primers bond effectively.

A: No. Frames remain in place. Large sliding doors are removed, serviced, sprayed flat, and reinstalled.

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

Q: Can you repaint flyscreens and security doors too?
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 result.

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