Transforming Interior Aluminium Windows
From Terracotta to Pearl White – Onsite Spraying Across the Gold Coast
Introduction: Interior Window Frames, Transformed
Across the Gold Coast, thousands of homes built between the 80s and early 2000s still have interior aluminium windows in outdated colours — from deep brown and bronze to orange-toned terracotta. These frames often clash with updated wall colours, floors, and furniture, creating a dated or heavy feel throughout the home.
But there’s a better solution than replacing every window in your house.
At RepaintPro, we professionally repaint aluminium window frames onsite — and that includes interior frames, like the ones featured in this week’s project:
➡️ Terracotta to Pearl White using our proven spray process.
This transformation brought instant light and softness to the room — and zero construction or window replacement was required.
Why Repaint Interior Aluminium Windows?
There are several key benefits to respraying aluminium windows indoors, especially when the existing colour no longer suits the space.
✔ Immediate Visual Upgrade
Swapping out a dated colour like terracotta for a crisp white instantly modernises any room.
✔ Seamless Integration
Pearl White blends easily with walls, ceilings, trims, and modern fittings — especially in contemporary Queensland homes.
✔ No Replacement Needed
You keep the existing frames, glass, and seals. No messy renovation, no structural work.
✔ Fast Turnaround
Most interior window spraying projects are completed in just a few days.
✔ Factory-Like Finish
Our spraying system gives a smooth, professional result — no brush or roller marks in sight.
Our Interior Aluminium Window Painting Process
At RepaintPro, we’ve developed a specialised spray painting system for both interior and exterior aluminium. This process ensures clean, long-lasting results — and is completed fully onsite.
Here’s how it works:
???? Step 1: Masking and Surface Protection
Before any painting begins, we completely mask off the area:
Floors and walls are protected with drop sheets and plastic Glass is fully taped off Trim, handles, and nearby cabinetry are masked precisely
This step is crucial indoors — we make sure no paint ends up where it shouldn’t.
???? Step 2: Cleaning and Surface Prep
Next, we clean the aluminium surface thoroughly:
Degreasing to remove dust, oils, and contaminants Abrading or scuff-sanding to create surface grip Removing oxidation or silicone residue from the existing finish
This preparation ensures our primer bonds properly, even over older terracotta or bronze powder-coated frames.
???? Step 3: Primer Application
We use a purpose-formulated adhesion primer, applied via spray for a smooth finish.
White or grey primer used depending on final colour Applied evenly with airless spray equipment Touch-dry quickly, with strong bonding to aluminium
This is what makes the Pearl White finish pop — clean, even colour that adheres long-term.
????️ Step 4: Colour Finish – Pearl White
Once primed, we apply two to three coats of high-quality topcoat in Pearl White:
Smooth and consistent coverage Semi-matte or satin sheen depending on the request UV-resistant and easy to clean Low odour, suitable for interior spaces
We use products specifically designed for aluminium surfaces — with durability and finish quality in mind.
???? Step 5: Tape Removal and Final Check
One of the most satisfying parts of the process — we remove the masking and reveal sharp, clean edges.
This is where the transformation becomes real. From dark terracotta to a fresh Pearl White — with perfectly masked lines and no overspray.
What Colours Do We Offer?
We can match almost any modern colour system, including:
Pearl White – as seen in this project Monument – dark charcoal for a bold contrast Satin Black – a very popular frame finish Silver / Clear Anodised look Surfmist – another clean white tone Custom metallics or Dulux / Colorbond ranges (premium options available)
Choosing lighter colours indoors helps create a sense of openness and airiness — especially in smaller rooms or low-light areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I really paint aluminium window frames indoors?
Absolutely. As long as the surface is properly prepped, primed and finished, indoor aluminium window frames take paint beautifully — and hold it well over time.
How long does the process take?
Most interior jobs are completed in 2–3 days, depending on the number of windows. We work quickly but never skip preparation.
Do I need to move out?
No — you can be home during the process. We do recommend stepping outside or into another part of the house while we spray, just as a precaution due to fumes.
What type of paint do you use?
We use low-odour, water-based or hybrid systems for interiors that offer durability and professional finishes. We also use airless spray for an ultra-smooth appearance.
Do you do doors and sliders as well?
Yes — we repaint sliding doors, fixed glass panels, bifold frames, and even internal office partitions, all in aluminium.
What if I want to match my exterior frames?
That’s no problem. Many clients choose Pearl White inside and a darker colour outside (like black or Monument). We can do both, often in the same week.
