Preparation & Process

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

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding before painting?
A: Yes. Sanding ensures primers and topcoats adhere correctly.

Q: Do you remove windows from their frames?
A: No. Frames are sprayed in place. Sliding panels are removed, serviced, painted, and reinstalled.

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

Q: Can flyscreens and security screens be painted too?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if needed.

A: We carefully mask all nearby surfaces — render, brick, tiles, timber, and gardens.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both sides can be painted for a uniform finish.

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

A: No. Both last equally well when applied professionally.

A: Not when surfaces are thoroughly cleaned, sanded, and primed.
