How Aluminium Window Painting Adds Value to Your Gold Coast Home Without Breaking the Bank

When it comes to modernising a home, there’s a common assumption that replacing old aluminium windows is the only way forward. But what if we told you there’s a way to get the exact same effect — sleek, modern, colour-matched windows — without ripping anything out, sending tonnes of frames to landfill, or spending tens of thousands of dollars?

At RepaintPro, we’ve been repainting and restoring aluminium windows across the Gold Coast for years, and there’s one thing we’ve learnt over and over again: you don’t need new windows. You just need the right process — and a team that knows exactly how to bring those tired frames back to life.

Aluminium Windows Can Be Repainted — And Transformed

Yes, aluminium windows can absolutely be painted. In fact, repainting them with the correct surface preparation and priming process achieves an incredibly durable and professional finish — one that rivals factory-new frames in appearance.

From Clear Island Waters to Currumbin, and from Southport to Reedy Creek, we’ve helped hundreds of homeowners ditch the dated cream or faded bronze colours and upgrade to finishes like satin black, monument, or pearl white — and all without removing the frames.

We’re Not Here to Sell You Anything

But we are here to solve the problem of what to do with those ugly windows that don’t match anything anymore.

That’s why RepaintPro has become the go-to name for onsite aluminium window painting across the Gold Coast. Whether your house was built in the 1980s or early 2000s, you’re probably stuck with a window colour that clashes with your newly painted walls, kitchen update, or refreshed exterior.

Our approach is simple: no sales pressure. Just real advice, clear pricing, and reliable work.

What Makes a Good Aluminium Window Repainting Process?

This is where many painters fall short. Repainting powder-coated aluminium is not the same as painting a wall or ceiling. Aluminium is a low surface energy (LSE) material, meaning paint won’t stick to it unless it’s correctly prepared.

Here’s what we do differently:

Full degrease and mechanical abrasion: We clean every inch of the surface with wax and grease remover, then sand the frames to create a mechanical bond.

Tape and mask with precision: We use green automotive-grade tape and plastic to fully mask the area. Our team takes pride in clean edges and zero overspray.

Apply specialist primers: We use Norglass All Surface Primer, sprayed in multiple coats for film build. Two coats create a strong anchor for the topcoat.

Spray HVLP finish: We don’t brush or roll. Every window is sprayed using HVLP (high volume low pressure) equipment for a smooth, factory-level finish.


We’ve developed this system over more than a decade. It’s not a shortcut — it’s the right way to do it.

Real Gold Coast Homes. Real Results.

Let’s talk about what it actually looks like.

In recent projects across suburbs like Bonogin, Burleigh Waters, Parkwood, and Hope Island, we’ve completely changed the look and feel of properties using just paint — no window replacement in sight.

Before: Dated bronze frames, security screens rusting or flaking, and windows that made the entire house feel older than it is.

After: Satin black or monument finish frames, perfectly blended with modern exterior colours, giving the home a brand-new feel.


We often pair this with repainting garage doors, slatted aluminium gates, and pool fencing — all with the same HVLP process and care. The result is a cohesive modern look.

“Why Not Just Replace Them?”

Good question — and one we get all the time.

Let’s break it down:

Factor Replacing Windows Repainting Windows

Cost for average home is a Fraction of the price
Mess Weeks of ripping out frames and walls No structural work needed
Time Multiple trades and delays One team, one process
Sustainability Waste sent to landfill Minimal environmental impact
Custom Colours Limited to factory tints Any colour — matched to your style


Carbon Footprint? Painting Is Greener Than You Think

The environmental impact of window replacements is often overlooked. A typical aluminium window can carry a carbon footprint of 15–30 kg of CO₂ per square metre when new (due to aluminium mining, manufacturing, and transport).

By contrast, painting a window (especially with water-based systems) creates only around 1.5–3 kg CO₂ per frame.

That’s a huge difference. And when you’re painting 20+ windows across a property, the carbon savings add up quickly.

Choosing to repaint isn’t just good for your home — it’s better for the planet.

What About Colonial or Federation-Style Windows?

We specialise in repainting colonial and Federation-style aluminium windows — the ones with horizontal and vertical muntins (grilles) that form squares or rectangles in the glass.

These can be time-consuming to prep properly, which is why many painters won’t go near them. But for us, it’s just part of the job. We’ve developed systems to tape and mask these accurately, whether we’re working in Mudgeeraba, Main Beach, or Broadbeach Waters.

The final result? Even old-style frames look sharp and modern with a gloss black or satin finish.

Spraying Security Screens? Absolutely.

We hear this myth a lot: “You can’t paint security screens.”

That’s false.

Security and flyscreens can absolutely be sprayed. In fact, we often remove and paint them separately to match your new window frame colour. We use the same sanding, degreasing, and priming system — and the results last.

We’ve done everything from diamond grill security doors in Ashmore to full screen sets in Varsity Lakes. Whether you want to keep them on or have them removed, we work with you to get the finish you’re after.

How Long Does It Take?

We’ve stopped quoting exact timelines in our blog posts because every house is different.

An average-sized home with a moderate number of windows and screens generally takes several days of prep, taping, priming, spraying, and final detailing — but not every job is the same. Larger homes can take longer, especially if we’re including screens, fencing, and doors.

We’d rather take the time to do it right than rush through a job just to meet a target.
