Frequently Asked Questions About Aluminium Window Painting in Upper Coomera



General Questions

Q: Can aluminium windows in Upper Coomera homes be repainted?
A: Yes. Aluminium frames in Upper Coomera — from new estate builds to established family homes — can be sanded, primed, and resprayed for a modern, factory-like finish.

Q: Is repainting aluminium windows worthwhile in Upper Coomera?
A: Absolutely. Many properties still have cream or bronze frames. Repainting gives them a fresh, contemporary look without replacing them.

Q: Do you repaint sliding, stacker, and French doors?
A: Yes. All aluminium doors, including sliding and French styles, can be sprayed to match window frames.

Q: Is repainting better than replacing aluminium windows?
A: In most cases, yes. Painting avoids the high cost and disruption of replacement while achieving the same updated look.

Q: Do painted aluminium windows look brand new again?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying produces sharp, smooth finishes that mimic factory coatings.




Preparation & Process

Q: How do you prepare aluminium frames for repainting in Upper Coomera?
A: Frames are cleaned thoroughly, sanded to create adhesion, primed, and sprayed with multiple thin coats.

Q: Do all aluminium frames need sanding first?
A: Yes. Sanding ensures primers bond securely to the surface.

Q: Do you remove windows before spraying?
A: No. Frames stay in place. Large 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 lines.

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 Upper Coomera’s brick and rendered homes?
A: By carefully masking all surfaces — render, brickwork, tiles, timber, and gardens — before spraying.

Q: Do you paint both the inside and outside frames?
A: Yes. Both can be painted for a consistent finish.

Q: How many coats do you apply?
A: Usually 2–4 coats depending on colour and coverage.

Q: Can Upper Coomera homeowners repaint their own aluminium windows?
A: Technically yes, but without sanding, primers, and HVLP spraying, results won’t last.




Durability & Maintenance

Q: How long will painted aluminium last in Upper Coomera’s conditions?
A: With professional prep and coatings, painted frames last many years. Our work is backed by a 6-year QBCC warranty.

Q: Does Upper Coomera’s hot summers affect paint life?
A: Strong UV exposure can fade colours, but our coatings are designed for Queensland’s sun.

Q: Is black more durable than white on aluminium?
A: No. Both colours last equally well when sprayed properly.

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

Q: Can scratches or marks be repaired before painting?
A: Yes. Surfaces are smoothed and primed before spraying.

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

Q: Do painted aluminium frames look factory-made?
A: Yes. HVLP spraying gives a crisp, factory-like result.

Q: How should painted frames be cleaned?
A: Wash with mild detergent and water — avoid harsh chemicals or abrasives.




Property-Specific

Q: Should I repaint aluminium windows before selling in Upper Coomera?
A: Yes. Fresh frames help properties photograph better and present more modern at inspections.

Q: Do buyers notice aluminium frame colours?
A: Definitely. Outdated frame colours are highly visible and can date a property.

Q: Is repainting worthwhile for rental homes?
A: Yes. Updated frames increase appeal for tenants and investors.

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 painted too?
A: Yes. Painting them creates a consistent look.

Q: Can garage doors be painted to match window frames?
A: Yes. Garage doors are often resprayed in the same colour.

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

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

A: Yes. Louvres can be sprayed to match surrounding frames.
