Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminium Window Painting in Nerang



General Questions

Q: Can aluminium windows in Nerang homes be repainted?
A: Yes. Aluminium frames in Nerang — from family houses to acreage properties — can be sanded, primed, and resprayed for a modern finish.

Q: Is repainting aluminium windows a good idea in Nerang?
A: Absolutely. Many older homes still have bronze or primrose frames. Repainting instantly modernises them without replacement.

Q: Do you also repaint sliding, stacker, and French doors?
A: Yes. Sliding glass doors, stackers, and French doors can all be resprayed to match windows.

Q: Is repainting aluminium windows better than replacing them?
A: In most cases, yes. Painting achieves the same modern look for far less cost and disruption.

Q: Do painted aluminium frames look brand new again?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying delivers a smooth, factory-like finish.




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.

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

Q: How do you avoid overspray on Nerang homes with brick, render, or timber?
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.

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




Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Nerang’s conditions?
A: With correct prep, painted frames last many years. All work comes with a 6-year QBCC-backed warranty.

Q: Does Nerang’s mix of acreage and suburban estates affect durability?
A: Both rural exposure and suburban UV are handled well with our coatings.

Q: Is black more durable than white on aluminium windows?
A: No. Both last equally well when surfaces are prepped properly.

Q: Will painted aluminium peel or chip?
A: Not when properly sanded, primed, and sprayed.

Q: Can scratches be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Damage is smoothed out before repainting.

Q: Can previously painted aluminium windows be redone?
A: Yes. Old coatings are sanded back, re-primed, and resprayed.

Q: Do repainted aluminium frames look like factory finishes?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying delivers sharp, professional results.

Q: How should I clean painted aluminium frames?
A: Use mild detergent and water only — avoid abrasives and harsh chemicals.




Property-Specific

Q: Should I repaint aluminium windows before selling in Nerang?
A: Yes. Fresh frames improve presentation in photos and inspections.

Q: Do buyers notice aluminium frame colours in Nerang?
A: Definitely. Outdated colours stand out and make homes feel older.

Q: Is repainting aluminium windows worthwhile for rentals?
A: Yes. Updated frames improve appeal to tenants and managers.

Q: Will repainting improve my home’s street appeal?
A: Yes. Fresh frames tie in with roofing, render, and landscaping.

Q: Should flyscreens and security doors be repainted too?
A: Yes. Consistency across frames and doors creates a complete upgrade.

Q: Can garage doors be resprayed to match?
A: Yes. Garage doors are often painted to match aluminium frames.

Q: Can sliding doors be serviced while repainting?
A: Yes. We replace rollers and clean tracks while spraying doors.

Q: Do colonial or French-style aluminium windows repaint well?
A: Yes. Colonial bars are carefully masked and sprayed for neat results.

Q: Can louvre windows be painted too?
A: Yes. Louvres can be masked and sprayed to blend in.




Commercial & Larger Projects

Q: Do you repaint aluminium shopfronts in Nerang?
A: Yes. We service retail and light industrial aluminium repainting in the area.

Q: Do you use different coatings for commercial aluminium?
A: Yes. Commercial jobs require 2-pack primers and polyurethane finishes for durability.

Q: Can you handle large commercial repainting projects?
A: Yes. We have the team and equipment for bigger jobs.

Q: Do you travel outside Nerang for commercial work?
A: Yes. We cover all Gold Coast suburbs, Brisbane, and beyond.

Q: Can aluminium in multi-storey complexes be repainted?
A: Yes. With scaffolding or swing-stage access, multi-level work is safely completed.

Q: Do you liaise with body corporates in Nerang?
A: Yes. We coordinate with committees to ensure smooth approval processes.




Service & Practical

A: Yes. From suburban estates to acreage blocks and commercial properties, we cover the entire suburb.

Q: Do you also work outside Nerang?
A: Yes. We service all Gold Coast suburbs and beyond for larger projects.

Q: How long does it take to repaint aluminium windows in Nerang homes?
A: Most projects are finished within a week. Large acreage properties may take longer.

Q: Do you remove blinds and curtains before spraying?
A: Yes. We remove or tape them aside. Older, sun-aged fittings are handled with care.

Q: Do I need to be home while spraying?
A: No. Many clients head out during the work. It’s safer not to be indoors while spraying is underway.

Q: Do you clean up after the job is finished?
A: Yes. All masking, tape, and protective coverings are removed so the property is left tidy.

Q: Will my render, decking, and gardens be safe from overspray?
A: Yes. Every surface is carefully masked before spraying.
