Spraying Black Primer on Aluminium Windows Across the Gold Coast

Professional Onsite Repainting for Lasting Results

Introduction: Why Black Primer Matters in Aluminium Window Painting

When it comes to aluminium window repainting, the process starts long before the final colour is applied. One of the most critical steps — often overlooked by DIYers or rushed contractors — is the application of primer.

At RepaintPro, we don’t skip steps. We use high-performance black primer as part of our multi-layer system that ensures paint longevity, adhesion, and an immaculate finish. In today’s update, we’re showing a behind-the-scenes look at this process through our latest onsite spraying work on the Gold Coast.

What Is Primer and Why Is It Crucial?

Primer is the bridge between the bare aluminium surface and the final colour coat. On powder-coated aluminium — which is notoriously tricky to paint — a primer ensures:

Proper adhesion to prevent peeling and bubbling UV and corrosion protection, especially in coastal environments Even colour coverage, especially when spraying dark topcoats like black, monument, or charcoal

Our chosen black primer is not just functional — it creates a clean base that helps darker topcoats pop and ensures uniformity across large areas like shopfront windows, residential windows, and garage doors.

How We Spray Primer the RepaintPro Way

We’re often asked, “Can you really paint over powder-coated aluminium?”

✅ Yes, absolutely — if it’s done right.

Here’s how we spray black primer across residential and commercial aluminium windows:

1. Thorough Surface Preparation

We begin by:

Cleaning the surface with a powerful but safe solvent-based degreaser Deoxidising and sanding as required to remove corrosion or chalking Masking with premium-grade tape and plastic to protect surrounding walls, glass, and flooring

This step ensures the primer adheres directly to the aluminium, not dirt or oxidation.

2. Applying the Black Primer

We use an airless spray system for even application. The benefits of airless spraying include:

No overspray haze Even coverage without brush strokes Perfect for fine mullions and large frames alike

The black primer goes on smoothly, setting the stage for a sleek gloss, satin, or matte topcoat — depending on your design preference.

3. Curing and Inspection

After the primer is sprayed, we allow time for it to cure before applying the final coat. We always do a full walkthrough to ensure coverage is flawless and uniform.

The Look and Durability You Expect

Black primer creates a solid base for dark colour schemes — something increasingly popular across suburbs like:

Mudgeeraba, Bonogin & Reedy Creek – where modern homes are incorporating darker window accents Robina & Varsity Lakes – mixed residential and commercial builds needing stylish curb appeal Clear Island Waters, Mermaid Waters, & Broadbeach Waters – high-end homes requiring perfect finishes Southport, Nerang, Ashmore & Benowa – classic homes getting a modern refresh

From unit complexes in Pacific Fair to multi-storey homes in Worongary, we use the same detailed approach: clean, prime, spray, cure — done right the first time.

Ideal for Both Residential & Commercial Projects

Whether we’re working on:

???? Homes with aluminium sliding windows, bay windows, or bi-folds ???? Shopfronts with full-glass mullions and commercial-grade doors ???? Garage doors painted to match fences or frames

…our black primer is the consistent foundation for lasting performance.

Commercial Note: On shopfronts and commercial buildings, we use 2PAC finishes for added durability. The black primer underneath these finishes plays an important role in preventing corrosion and improving visual uniformity.

How Long Does It Last?

All our work is fully licensed with the QBCC. We provide:

????️ A 6-Year Warranty on Workmanship

???? Onsite spraying jobs lasting over 8.5 years (and counting!)

Our clients regularly report that their painted frames are still going strong even after years of sun, salt, and rain.

What About Flyscreens?

We’re happy to:

Remove and remesh flyscreens Spray them separately to ensure full frame coverage Reinstall them once the job is complete

That includes diamond grille security doors and flyscreens on windows and patio enclosures.

Do You Need to Be Home?

You’re welcome to stay home — but while we’re actively spraying, it’s best to:

Be outside for 4–5 hours Or, head out for the day

We wear protective gear during application due to vapours, but the smell dissipates quickly and safely after spraying is complete.
