How to Choose a Company to Paint Your Aluminium Windows and Frames

Gold Coast homeowners: Here’s what to look for

If you’re planning to modernise your aluminium window frames with a fresh new look, choosing the right company is everything. The wrong choice could cost you thousands — or worse, leave you with peeling paint, overspray, or zero accountability when things go wrong.

Here on the Gold Coast, aluminium window repainting is becoming more and more popular as homeowners realise they don’t need to replace their frames to get a modern look.

But as demand rises, so do the number of businesses offering the service — and not all of them are created equal.

Below are the key things to look for when choosing an aluminium window painting company, based on our 30+ years of spray experience at RepaintPro.

✅ Insurance – It’s There to Protect YOU

Every professional takes as much care as possible — but sometimes, unforeseen issues can occur. That’s why it’s essential your aluminium window painting contractor carries comprehensive trade insurance.

Public liability insurance helps ensure you’re protected in the rare event that something doesn’t go to plan. It’s not just peace of mind — it’s a basic requirement for any legitimate trade business working on your property.

Always ask for current insurance certificates, and don’t take vague answers or excuses.

✅ Experience

This is a big one.

We’ve seen ads floating around on the Gold Coast from companies trying to recruit franchisees for aluminium window painting with the words:
“No experience required!”

Are you serious? That means you could end up with someone who has never painted anything professionally in their life.

Your postie or barista from last week could be spraying your window frames next week with just a few hours of crash-course training.

At RepaintPro, we’re a fourth-generation painting family with over 100 years of experience in the trade. And we’ve been spray painting aluminium windows for more than 30 years of that.

This isn’t just a job — it’s our craft.

Repainting aluminium isn’t something you can learn in a weekend. It requires:

Knowing how to prep and clean aluminium properly

Choosing the right adhesion primers for non-ferrous metal

Applying multiple light coats for correct film build

Understanding weather conditions and curing

Taping and masking with absolute precision


If someone can’t demonstrate their history and depth of experience — move on.

✅ Licensing (QBCC Matters)

Here in Queensland, you must be licensed by the QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission) to legally carry out any residential painting job valued over $3300.

This includes aluminium window painting.

Some painters will try to get around this by:

Splitting the job into smaller invoices

Quoting under someone else’s licence

Saying aluminium painting doesn’t count as “painting” under the rules


🚨 Make no mistake — the total value of the project is what counts, and it must be done by a licensed contractor.

We’ve also seen licence sharing, where someone quotes a job under a different company’s licence, or uses a friend’s number. That’s illegal — and if anything goes wrong, you as the homeowner are not protected.

At RepaintPro, we are fully licensed and insured, and our QBCC number is right there on every quote and invoice. We don’t play games with paperwork — because your home deserves better than that.

✅ Proof of Previous Work

Reviews are helpful — but let’s be honest: anyone can write a fake review these days.

What matters more is visual proof.

We get a lot of people asking if they can visit previous clients’ homes to check out our work. While we appreciate the interest, we take client privacy seriously, and don’t hand out addresses — even for our own promotions.

Instead, we document every project with:

🎥 Before, during, and after videos

📸 High-resolution close-up photos

🛠 Real-time progress updates on-site


We post regularly on:

Facebook

Instagram

YouTube


You’ll see:

Our prep and sanding process

How we mask glass, walls, and brickwork

How many coats we apply

The final sprayed result — zoomed in


There’s no better way to judge a company than by seeing their work in action. If a business can’t show you what they’ve done — ask why.

Final Thoughts: It’s Not Just Paint — It’s Protection

Choosing the right team to paint your aluminium windows isn’t just about price or colour.

It’s about making sure your home is protected legally, financially, and aesthetically. It’s about trusting your project to professionals who:

✅ Are fully insured

✅ Hold current QBCC licences

✅ Have decades of proven experience

✅ Use the correct primers, products, and techniques

✅ Show you real proof of what they’ve done


If you’re on the Gold Coast and want the job done right — with no shortcuts and no guesswork — RepaintPro is here to help.
