How to Modernise a 1990s Home With Aluminium Window Spraying Gold Coast

Why 1990s Homes Look Dated Today

The 1990s were a huge building era on the Gold Coast. Estates popped up in Robina, Varsity Lakes, Carrara, Nerang, and beyond. While the layouts and bones of these homes are still solid, the finishes often give them away:

Cream aluminium window frames that have yellowed over time.

Silver raw aluminium frames that clash with modern design.

Bronze/brown frames that feel heavy and outdated.

Terracotta roof tiles combined with mismatched window tones.


Even if you’ve updated your kitchen, painted the walls, or landscaped the garden, outdated aluminium windows instantly drag the home back to the 90s.

That’s why more homeowners are choosing aluminium window spraying to modernise their 1990s properties — quickly, affordably, and with finishes that look like factory new.

Why Aluminium Window Spraying Works for 90s Homes

Unlike full window replacement, spraying transforms existing frames without demolition. It:

Keeps frames in place – No ripping into render or plaster.

Costs a fraction of replacement – Big visual impact at a smaller price.

Delivers factory-quality finishes – HVLP spraying gives sharp, smooth results.

Modernises instantly – Outdated cream becomes sleek black or white.

Eco-friendly – Re-uses existing aluminium instead of sending it to landfill.


For 1990s homes, it’s the missing link between old construction and modern presentation.

Common Frame Colours From the 1990s

1. Cream/Beige – Once popular, now looks tired and clashes with modern greys.


2. Silver (Raw Aluminium) – Common in mid-90s builds, now reads as unfinished.


3. Bronze/Brown – Favoured in earlier 90s estates, now feels heavy.



Spraying allows you to modernise all of these into timeless finishes.

Popular Modern Colours for 1990s Home Makeovers

From our experience across the Gold Coast:

Black – Sleek, modern, blends with glass, and makes homes look architectural.

White – Bright and clean, perfect when paired with shutters or curtains.

Monument – A dark grey that ties frames into roofs and fences.

Surfmist – Light grey-white, coastal, and Hamptons-inspired.

Ironstone – Deep neutral that works with stone or timber finishes.


Today, 99% of our 1990s home repaints are black or white, with Monument, Surfmist, and Ironstone completing the list.

The Technical Side – Why Our Spraying Lasts

1990s aluminium frames are often chalky and oxidised. That makes preparation critical:

Sanding – Smooths chalking and keys the aluminium surface.

Priming –

Norglass All Surface Primer: 30–40 microns DFT per coat (2 coats = 60–80).


Topcoats –

Concept Acrylic Lacquer: 25–35 microns DFT per coat, total build 40–60.


Multiple coats – One thin coat won’t cut it. Proper film build ensures durability.

HVLP spraying – Factory-quality results, no brush marks.


This process ensures frames hold up against Gold Coast UV, salt, and humidity.

How Window Spraying Completes Renovations

Many 1990s homes already have upgrades:

Fresh render over brick.

New Colorbond roofs replacing terracotta.

Kitchens and bathrooms updated.


But if the windows are still cream, bronze, or silver, the home still looks dated. Spraying ties the whole renovation together, giving your property a cohesive, modern look.

The Process Step by Step

1. Inspection – Assess frame condition and surrounding surfaces.


2. Cleaning – Remove dirt, oils, and chalking.


3. Sanding – Key aluminium for adhesion.


4. Masking – Protect glass, tiles, render, and decking.


5. Priming – Apply adhesion primers at correct microns.


6. Spraying – Multiple coats applied evenly with HVLP.


7. Finishing touches – Tape removed, flyscreens reinstalled, tracks serviced.



The end result? Frames that look like they were manufactured yesterday.

Why Gold Coast Conditions Demand Proper Systems

1990s homes on the Gold Coast face the same environmental stress as newer builds — but with older coatings already breaking down:

Coastal homes (Palm Beach, Tugun, Currumbin) – Salt spray accelerates corrosion.

Open suburbs (Robina, Ormeau, Upper Coomera) – UV fades coatings quickly.

Hinterland (Mudgeeraba, Bonogin, Worongary) – Humidity challenges adhesion.


Without proper sanding, primers, and film thickness, coatings won’t last. That’s why professional spraying is critical.
