From Faded to Flawless: Aluminium Window Repainting in Satin Black

Behind the Scenes with RepaintPro – Full Before, During, and After Transformation

Why Repainting Aluminium Windows Is the Smarter Choice

In homes and buildings across the Gold Coast, powder-coated aluminium windows from the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s are starting to look tired, faded, or stuck in another era.

But instead of costly replacements or clunky retrofit kits, RepaintPro offers a smarter solution:

???? Onsite spray painting using high-performance primers and topcoats — with factory-level finishes and long-lasting results.

This Project: A Real Example of Window Transformation

The image above shows a real job — a tired aluminium window frame in need of an update.

Before: Faded beige, oxidised surface, letting down the look of the home During: Precision masking and black primer applied After: Smooth satin black finish with sharp tape lines and a totally modern look

We do this same transformation across homes, shopfronts, and commercial buildings every week.

The RepaintPro System — Start to Finish

Here’s a detailed look at our repainting process, step-by-step.

1. Surface Cleaning and Prep

Before any spraying starts, we carry out:

Surface deoxidisation and degreasing Detail cleaning to remove salt, chalking, and contaminants Sanding or scuffing as required to help primer bond

This ensures the primer and topcoat won’t lift, peel or bubble.

2. Professional Masking

Next, we carefully tape and mask:

Window glass Brick/render Walls, floors, and inside reveals Fixtures like handles or flyscreen fittings

We use low-tack painter’s tape and edge plastic sheeting, which creates crisp edges with zero overspray.

3. Black Primer Application

For dark colours like satin black, black primer is essential. It:

Maximises topcoat colour depth Evens out frame colour before finish coats Provides strong adhesion for long-lasting results

We use airless spray equipment for a smooth, even coat without brush strokes.

4. Satin Black Finish Coats

After priming, we apply 2–3 finish coats in your selected sheen:

Satin black in this case — one of our most requested finishes UV-resistant, high-adherence, built for QLD climate Zero brush marks, smooth to the touch, and looks like it came from the factory

5. Tape Pull & Final Inspection

Once the final coat has dried, we do a careful tape removal — one of the most satisfying parts of the job.

That’s when the sharp lines and clean colour transitions are revealed.

Every job is signed off only when we’re satisfied it meets our quality standards.

Why Satin Black? A Timeless, Bold Choice

Satin black is one of the most popular finishes among Gold Coast homeowners and builders because:

It works with modern architecture and coastal designs It contrasts beautifully with light render and timber cladding It doesn’t reflect too much glare, unlike gloss It adds instant value and curb appeal

And when paired with the right primer and preparation — it stays looking good for years.

We Spray More Than Just Windows

Our same system is used on:

???? Sliding glass doors ???? Garage doors ???? Diamond grille security screens ???? Commercial shopfront mullions ???? 2–3 storey buildings (with scaffolding)

Every surface is cleaned, masked, primed, and sprayed to the same high standard.
