Aluminium Spray Paint

If you have old aluminum windows that you want to either restore the existing color or if you want to change the color, then you can rest easy. You're in the right place.

The process of painting aluminum windows can be decomposed into a series of measures in two separate steps. It is the preparation and implementation. Experience, however, will try to jump on the preparation, to the detriment of the appearance and durability of the finished product.

Preparation

The amount of preparation required depends mainly on the type and condition of the original substrate. For example, if you have old windows painted in lacquered aluminum paint and chalk disappears against your fingers, then it will take much more preparation to the surface later this powder is not painted and is chalking a color change.

However, anodized aluminum windows will study much more than any other substrates irrespective of their state of substrate, because the surface needs a lot more mechanical abrasion Key to the surface sufficient to allow the paint stick.

Protection of adjacent surfaces, finished Whenever you paint isolated section, it is important that you protect adjacent finished surfaces. When painting aluminum windows in your house or apartment, you'll need to think about putting plastic sheeting down, followed by canvas paintings. I propose the application of plastic film and 3M, as you can with a distributor of hand to protect the glass and the walls surrounding the window directly.

Cleaning

Make sure all surfaces are clean and free of dirt. Grime and grease are essential in the process of painting aluminum windows. If the surfaces are dirty, paint adhesion is reduced. Clean the exterior frames with soapy water and a sponge. However, the use of a soap that is free of salt as washing trucks. Wash all excess soap with fresh clean water.

Then, in turn clean the interior surfaces and with solvent wash as prepsol.

Use a scouring apply the solvent. Erosion will clean and touches the surface at the same time. It is important that you make a second washing solvent on the dirty windows, using solvent with a clean cloth, then wipe with another clean cloth.

Sand the substrate

It is not easy in this process. This can be especially difficult and monotonous into tighter places such as the upper channel, because there is no mechanical equipment sanders which can make the job much faster. So, do the job manually by hand is difficult and takes time.

If you have a powder coated surface is chalking, I recommend sanding with 120 grit. Sandpaper is less likely to clog. If your substrate is coated with powdered chalk and then 240 is not grain will be sufficient to grasp the surface, especially if you come first. However, if your substrate is anodized, you're in a real work because you will need to leave the paper 60 grit sand. You have the aid of masking tape to the ends of your fingers ready, because that's where you'll be "rubbing their fingers to the bone."

Sixty grain will really carve up the anodized surface. And you want the paint to really stick, no? Skip this and you will work again. Once you've done, it is better that you go on the job again with 120 grit sandpaper to smooth out the gouges caused by the grain 60.

You're almost ready to begin the fun part that applies the paint. Just before painting a window to give him another using your own dry cleaning solvent, be sure to use two types of tissue specific.

Painting Using a system of three layers with the first layer being a prim.
