A: Yes. Sliding doors, stacker doors, and French doors — common in Palm Beach builds — can be repainted to match windows.

Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames for painting in Palm Beach?
A: Frames are cleaned with degreasers, sanded to create adhesion, primed, and sprayed with several coats.

Q: Do all aluminium windows need sanding before painting?
A: Yes. Sanding is essential to break through the old powder coating and allow primers to bond.

Q: Do you remove windows from the house?
A: No. Frames are sprayed in place. Large sliding panels are removed for spraying and servicing, then reinstalled.

Q: How do you protect glass during spraying?
A: Glass is fully masked with tape and plastic sheeting, leaving sharp, clean lines.

Q: Can you paint flyscreens and security screens?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them so they match the new colour.

Q: How do you prevent overspray on Palm Beach homes with render and timber?
A: We mask all surfaces — render, timber decks, tiles, bricks, and gardens.

Q: Do you paint both inside and outside aluminium frames?
A: Yes. Both sides can be sprayed to keep the finish consistent.

Q: How many coats are usually applied?
A: We spray 2–4 thin coats for full coverage and durability.

Q: Can I DIY paint aluminium frames myself?
A: You can, but without sanding, specialist primers, and spray systems, results rarely last.

Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long does painted aluminium last in Palm Beach’s coastal environment?
A: With professional preparation, painted frames last many years despite salt air. Our work carries a 6-year QBCC-backed warranty.

Q: Does the strong coastal sun cause quicker fading?
A: All paint fades slowly, but with high-quality coatings, colour holds very well under Palm Beach’s UV conditions.

Q: Is black more durable than white on aluminium windows?
A: No. Both last equally well when prepped and applied correctly.

Q: Will painted frames chip or peel?
A: Not if they’re properly cleaned, sanded, and primed before spraying.

Q: Can scratches in the aluminium be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Scratches are sanded smooth and primed so the final result is seamless.

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

Q: Do painted aluminium windows look like factory finishes?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying creates a factory-like result.

Q: How should I maintain painted aluminium?
A: Wash with mild detergent and water only. Avoid abrasives or strong solvents.

A: Yes. Matching them to the frame colour creates a seamless finish.

A: Yes. Garage doors are commonly sprayed at the same time.
