Preparation & Process

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

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks the powder-coated surface so primers stick properly.

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

Q: How do you protect glass while spraying?
A: Every pane is masked with tape and protective film for razor-sharp edges.

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

A: We carefully mask all surfaces — brickwork, render, tiles, decking, and gardens.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both sides can be sprayed for consistency.

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