Security Screen Spraying & Fly Mesh Replacement on the Gold Coast
Why Repainting Your Aluminium Screens Is Just as Important as Your Window Frames
There’s something most homeowners don’t notice until after their aluminium windows are freshly painted.
The frames look sharp. The lines are clean. The colour feels modern again.
But the security screens?
Still faded. Still chalky. Still holding onto that old cream or yellow tone from twenty years ago.
And that’s where the job feels unfinished.
Over the past year, we’ve added something that makes a major difference to the overall result of a home: professional aluminium security screen spraying and fly mesh replacement. Not as an afterthought. Not as a side service. As a proper, structured part of the transformation process.
If you’re repainting aluminium windows on the Gold Coast — whether in Mudgeeraba, Robina, Burleigh Waters, Palm Beach, Southport, Nerang, Varsity Lakes, Currumbin, Parkwood, Elanora, Coomera, Upper Coomera, Ormeau, Runaway Bay, Bundall, Broadbeach, Miami, Reedy Creek, Bonogin, Worongary or Maudsland — the screens are part of the visual story.

And if they’re not addressed properly, the finish won’t feel complete.
Why Security Screens Matter More Than People Think
Security screens sit in front of the window frame. They catch light differently. They collect salt, dust, moisture, oxidation, and UV exposure faster than the main frames.
Over time they:
Fade unevenly
Develop surface oxidation
Show pitting around joints
Accumulate fine rust in steel mesh
Go brittle and dull
Hold discoloured flyscreen mesh
And when windows are freshly sprayed — especially in crisp white, satin black, gloss black, Monument, Surfmist or Pearl White — the contrast becomes obvious.
A freshly sprayed frame beside a tired cream diamond grill screen immediately shows the difference.
That’s why we now treat screens as part of the full system.
Our Process: Removing and Spraying Security Screens Properly
We don’t mask screens and spray them in place.
We remove them.
Each screen is:
Labelled for correct reinstallation
Carefully detached from hinges or clips
Taken to a controlled spray area
Cleaned thoroughly
Degreased
Sanded or mechanically abraded
Primed where required
Finished with the correct coating system
If we’re working on a residential home, we use high-quality single-pack primers and topcoats appropriate for aluminium. These allow proper curing in residential environments without the hazards associated with isocyanate products inside occupied homes.
If it’s a commercial venue or outdoor ventilated site — such as shopfront security grills in Yatala, Southport industrial zones, Burleigh industrial precincts, or Bundall commercial strips — we may apply 2-pack epoxy primers and 2-pack polyurethane finishes where ventilation conditions are appropriate and safe.
We match the system to the environment.
Not the other way around.
Diamond Grill Security Screens: From Cream to White or Black
Most of the work we see across the Gold Coast is:
Old cream diamond grills
Faded Surfmist tones
Yellowed powdercoat
Brown anodised frames
Mismatched mesh
The transformation when these are sprayed properly is dramatic.
White homes in Palm Beach and Elanora look sharper when screens match crisp white frames.
Black window projects in Burleigh Heads, Miami, and Broadbeach Waters feel more modern when screens are refinished in gloss or semi-gloss black.
Monument brick homes in Nerang or Upper Coomera look cohesive when the grills follow the same colour direction.
This is about cohesion.
Fly Mesh Replacement: Why It’s Worth Doing at the Same Time
Repainting the aluminium frame but keeping 15-year-old mesh makes no sense.
Mesh:
Discolours over time
Holds pollen and dust permanently
Weakens with UV
Tears around corners
Rusts if steel
Sags when tension fades
When we remove screens for spraying, it’s the ideal time to:
Replace old flyscreen mesh
Upgrade to fresh fibreglass mesh
Retension properly
Replace spline
Ensure tight, clean finish
The result? The entire screen looks factory-fresh.
It’s a small add-on compared to the impact it makes.
And because the screen is already removed, it’s efficient to complete at the same time.
Why We Don’t Cut Corners on Screens
There are shortcuts in this industry.
Spraying screens while installed. Skipping primer. Lightly dusting colour over oxidation. Ignoring mesh. Avoiding removal to save time.
We don’t do that.
Because if we’re repainting aluminium windows across suburbs like Robina, Varsity Lakes, Currumbin Valley, Parkwood, Ashmore, Southport or Maudsland — the goal is long-term durability and visual consistency.
That only happens with proper preparation.
Preparation: The Non-Negotiable Stage
Security screens are exposed to the harshest conditions.
Preparation includes:
Full washdown
Removal of salt deposits (critical in beachside areas like Palm Beach, Kirra, Currumbin and Broadbeach)
Abrasion to create mechanical key
Degreasing
Drying
Proper masking where required
No coating system performs without adhesion.
And adhesion starts with prep.
Spray Application: Controlled Film Build
When spraying screens, especially diamond grills, you must:
Avoid excessive build in corners
Maintain even coverage over lattice
Prevent dry spray
Avoid runs
Control pressure
Adjust fan width
Maintain correct distance
Diamond grills create complex angles. If you overload them, you create pooling. If you under-spray them, they look patchy in sunlight.
We build coats methodically.
Often starting with a light tack coat to promote grip, followed by controlled wet coats.
Not rushed. Not guessed. Built properly.
Colour Choices: What Works Best on Screens
From years of repainting across the Gold Coast, 99% of window and screen work falls into:
White
Black
The remaining small percentage includes:
Monument
Surfmist
Ironstone
Black hides frames visually against darker glass. White blends with shutters and internal trim. Monument and Surfmist work well on modern homes. Ironstone suits specific architectural tones.
Screens must match the frame to achieve full cohesion.
Suburb-Wide Relevance
Security screen repainting is just as relevant in:
Mudgeeraba
Robina
Burleigh Waters
Palm Beach
Southport
Nerang
Varsity Lakes
Currumbin
Parkwood
Elanora
Coomera
Upper Coomera
Ormeau
Runaway Bay
Bundall
Broadbeach
Miami
Reedy Creek
Bonogin
Worongary
Maudsland
As it is anywhere else on the coast.
Because oxidation and UV don’t discriminate by postcode.
Interior vs Exterior Screens
Interior screens rarely need refinishing.
Exterior screens take the punishment.
And if the exterior frames are updated but the grills remain faded, the job visually stops halfway.
We now approach every aluminium window project with the screens included in the conversation.
Why This Service Matters in Renovations
When brickwork is painted Monument. When soffits go crisp white. When new stacker doors are installed. When shutters are upgraded. When render is refreshed.
Old cream grills suddenly stand out.
Security screen refinishing ensures everything aligns.
It completes the renovation visually.
Commercial Security Screens
In commercial settings — retail shopfronts in Southport, industrial units in Yatala, offices in Bundall, workshops in Burleigh industrial areas — security grills and barrier screens often require more robust systems.
Here is where 2-pack epoxy primer and polyurethane finishes may be used — in ventilated, appropriate environments — to provide superior durability and chemical resistance.
Residential homes remain single-pack for safety and suitability.
System choice matters.
Why We Share This Process
We post videos of:
Removing screens
Cleaning
Sanding
Priming
Spraying
Mesh replacement
Reinstallation
Tape removal
Because transparency builds trust.
You see the work. You see the detail. You see the finish.
And when you’re investing in repainting aluminium windows across the Gold Coast, that detail matters.
This Is Not Just Paint
It’s restoration. It’s renewal. It’s cohesion. It’s attention to detail.
Security screen spraying and mesh replacement is now part of our integrated aluminium window painting service moving forward.
Not optional. Not an afterthought. Part of the system.
