How to Pick an Aluminium Window Painter in Worongary
If you’re living in Worongary, Tallai, Gilston, Highland Park, or anywhere nearby and thinking about transforming your old aluminium windows, you’re probably wondering — Who should I trust to do the job? This guide will walk you through the key things to look for when choosing a professional to spray paint your aluminium window frames, sliding doors, or screens in Worongary and surrounding Gold Coast suburbs.
—
✅ 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.
If a painter can’t provide current insurance documentation, that’s a red flag. Don’t take the risk — always choose a contractor who is insured and prepared.

✅ Experience – It’s More Than Just a Spray Gun
This is a big one. We’ve seen ads floating around 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 trade experience. And we’ve been spray painting for more than 30 years of that.
Aluminium window painting isn’t just about holding a spray gun. It’s about knowing how different surfaces behave, understanding prep, choosing the right masking techniques, applying correct film builds, reading weather conditions, and ensuring coatings last for years. You only get that from experience.

✅ Licensing – Non-Negotiable for Residential Jobs Over $3,300
Here in Queensland, you must be licensed by the QBCC (Queensland Building and Construction Commission) to legally carry out any residential painting job valued at over $3300.
This includes aluminium window painting. Some painters will try to get around this by splitting the job into smaller invoices to dodge the rules. But 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 examples of licence sharing — where someone is quoting a job under a different company’s licence, or a friend’s number. If the person doing the work doesn’t match the licence holder, that’s illegal and you as the homeowner are at risk if something goes wrong.
At RepaintPro, we are fully licensed and insured, and our QBCC number is listed right there on our website and quoting materials. We don’t cut corners.

✅ Proof of Previous Works
Reviews are good — but they can be falsely obtained. That’s why it’s always good to check for videos and photos of actual work completed by the company.
We get a lot of people asking if they can have some addresses of previous clients to have a look at our work. I’m sorry, but we don’t give out our clients’ information — even for our own promotions. Privacy is important.
However, we do film different aspects of our jobs to give you a real view of what we do and how we do it.
From preparation and taping to spraying and final coat, we post regular videos and photos on:
Facebook
Instagram
YouTube
You’ll find actual job footage from Worongary, Tallai, Highland Park, and all across the Gold Coast.
There’s no substitute for honest, visual proof.

✅ Knowledge of Products and Application Techniques
Ask any company you’re thinking of hiring how they apply the paint and what kind of coatings they use. Do they know the micron film build they’re aiming for? Can they explain the difference between primer and top coat?
The truth is: most painters aren’t familiar with aluminium as a substrate.
They might use standard house paint that has no business going on metal, skip primer altogether, or fail to sand and clean properly. That leads to flaking, bubbling, and failure within a year or two.
RepaintPro uses a purpose-built system for aluminium:
We clean and prep using degreaser and sanding
We use professional primers made for non-ferrous metals
We spray multiple coats of finish to achieve durability and colour depth
This isn’t DIY spray can work. It’s a system refined over thousands of jobs across the Gold Coast.

✅ Look for Signs of a Real Business
Too many painters work out of the back of a ute with no business structure, no insurance, and no accountability.
A few key things to look for:
Do they have a proper website?
Are they active on social media?
Do they issue written quotes with ABNs and licence numbers?
Do they offer actual photos/videos of their jobs?
Do they show up on time and communicate like professionals?
RepaintPro has been a registered business for decades. Our van is signwritten. Our staff wear uniforms. We don’t hide behind fake names or dodgy excuses.
We are 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!

✅ Consistency in Work – No Two Windows Are the Same
Every aluminium window job is different. Some homes have colonial bars, others have louvres, triple sliders, or federation-style designs. It takes skill and consistency to produce a good finish across all of them.
If a painter shows you only one “hero” photo, that’s not enough.
At RepaintPro, our consistency speaks for itself. Scroll through our pages and you’ll see transformation after transformation — different styles, sizes, and colours. From small single windows to massive sliding doors and security screens.
We tape properly. We spray evenly. We care about the result.
—
✅ Responsiveness and Communication
How easy is it to get a quote?
Do they answer the phone? Respond to texts or emails? Keep you updated throughout the job?
We know it can be frustrating trying to chase up a tradie who goes silent. That’s why we’ve built systems to make quoting easy.

Final Thoughts: You Only Get One Shot at Getting It Right
Repainting your aluminium windows is not something you want to re-do in a year. If it’s done wrong, the paint will peel or fade — and the damage will be worse than before.
That’s why choosing the right painter matters.
