Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames for painting in Tallebudgera?
A: Frames are cleaned with degreasers, sanded, primed, and then sprayed with multiple thin coats for a durable finish.

Q: Do all windows need sanding before painting?
A: Yes. Sanding is crucial to break through the powder-coated layer and create adhesion for primers.

Q: Do you remove windows before painting?
A: No. Frames remain in place. Large sliding panels are removed to be serviced and sprayed, then reinstalled.

Q: How do you protect glass during spraying?
A: Glass is fully masked with tape and plastic film to ensure sharp, clean edges.

Q: Can you also paint flyscreens and security screens?
A: Yes. We remove, respray, and re-mesh them if required so everything matches.

Q: How do you avoid overspray on Tallebudgera homes with render and timber?
A: By masking all surrounding surfaces — including bricks, render, decks, and gardens — before spraying.

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

Q: How many coats are applied?
A: Usually 2–4 coats for proper film build and a long-lasting finish.
