Transforming Aluminium Windows Across the Gold Coast

A Complete Guide to Repainting Aluminium Frames – Residential and Commercial

Introduction

If you’re on the Gold Coast and wondering whether repainting your aluminium windows is possible — or worth it — the short answer is: absolutely. Repainting aluminium frames is a fast, cost-effective way to modernise your property without replacing the entire window unit. From older bronze windows in Mudgeeraba to silver frames in Palm Beach, RepaintPro has helped hundreds of clients transform their homes and commercial buildings.

In this post, we’ll walk you through:

Why Repainting Aluminium Windows Just Makes Sense

Cost-Effective Alternative to Replacement

Replacing aluminium windows is expensive, disruptive, and often unnecessary. The frames themselves are typically structurally sound. It’s the colour that dates them. Whether they’ve faded over time, oxidised, or simply don’t match your new paint colour — repainting is your modern solution.

Fast Turnaround

Most of our projects are completed in under a week. With a team trained in high-detail masking and precision spraying, we work quickly and cleanly without compromising quality.

Minimal Disruption

No removing frames. No damaging surrounding render or cladding. We spray windows onsite, with masking systems that fully protect your home.

Our Full Aluminium Repainting Process

RepaintPro follows a strict process on every job — residential or commercial — to ensure longevity, clean lines, and a smooth finish. Whether we’re working in Robina, Varsity Lakes, or Clear Island Waters, you’ll get the same care and precision every time.

1. Surface Preparation

We begin by washing and degreasing every surface. This removes:

Oxidation Grime Silicone residue Any contaminants that could affect primer adhesion

This is one of the most important steps and the reason our coatings last for years without lifting or peeling.

2. Detailed Masking and Taping

Using professional-grade green masking tape, paper, and plastic sheeting, we protect:

Glass Render or cladding Brickwork Internal flooring (for interior sprays)

Our tape removal videos regularly go viral — because nothing beats seeing a perfect edge revealed after a clean spray.

3. Priming with Aluminium-Bonding Products

We use a professional etch or adhesion primer, depending on the substrate and whether the windows are interior or exterior. We often spray in:

White primer for light-colour topcoats (like Pearl White or Surfmist) Black primer for darker finishes (such as Monument, Night Sky, or black gloss)

This primer is specifically made for powder-coated and anodised aluminium.

4. Topcoat Application – Two Full Coats

We apply two coats of a premium acrylic or 2PAC topcoat using HVLP or airless spray guns. This provides a smooth, even, and long-lasting finish.

Finish options include:

Satin (our most popular choice) Semi-gloss Full gloss (on request)

5. Tape Removal and Final Detailing

We take pride in our clean lines and no mess policy. Once the coating has flashed off, we remove all tape, inspect for edge detailing, and clean all masked areas.

Feature Suburb: Mudgeeraba

This week, we’re spotlighting our work in Mudgeeraba, where we recently repainted an entire home’s exterior aluminium frames.

The house had:

Bronze powder-coated windows Oxidised, faded colour White walls from a recent repaint

The client wanted modern contrast, and we applied satin black to the exterior windows and doors. The result? A sharp, contemporary look that completely elevated the facade — without changing a single frame.

We masked all the brickwork and glass, used a black primer followed by two coats of topcoat, and completed the entire job within 4 days.

FAQs – Aluminium Window Repainting

How long will it last?

We’re fully licensed with the QBCC, and our work comes with a 6-year workmanship warranty. But in reality? Many of our clients have paintwork that still looks great after 8+ years — with no flaking, lifting, or fading.

Can you paint powder-coated aluminium?

Yes, absolutely. That’s our specialty. Our process is designed specifically for powder-coated and anodised aluminium frames.

What colours can I choose?

Any colour you like! Most customers opt for Colorbond shades to match existing fencing or roofs. Common choices include:

Monument Surfmist Wallaby Pearl White Night Sky Dune

We can colour match existing trims, exterior paint, or custom palettes too.

What if I have flyscreens or security screens?

We can remove, repaint, and re-mesh these as part of your quote. Or you can choose to leave them in place, and we’ll mask around them.

Do I need to be home?

You’re welcome to be home, but it’s ideal to be out for 4–5 hours while we spray. Our technicians wear full respiratory gear, and although the smell fades quickly, it’s best to stay out during spraying for safety.
