Preparation & Process
Q: How do you prepare aluminium for painting in Tallai?
A: We remove contaminants, sand for adhesion, prime, and spray multiple coats. Proper prep ensures long-term durability.
Q: Is sanding essential before painting?
A: Yes. Sanding breaks the powder-coated surface so primers adhere effectively.

A: By masking each pane with tape and protective film.

A: Yes. Both sides can be sprayed so interiors and exteriors match seamlessly.
Q: How many coats are applied?
A: Typically 2–4 light coats are sprayed for full coverage and durability.
