Painting aluminum window frames is a great way to refresh their appearance and protect them from the elements. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you achieve a professional finish:
To paint aluminum window frames:
Clean Thoroughly: Remove dirt, grease, and oxidation with soapy water or a degreaser.
Sand the Surface: Lightly sand with 180-220 grit sandpaper to create a rough surface for better adhesion.
Apply a Primer: Use a metal-specific primer to enhance paint adhesion and durability.
Paint with Quality Paint: Use acrylic or epoxy paint, applying thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next.
Finish and Cure: Let the paint fully cure before using the windows.
