I did it! I painted one window 😂 but I followed your instructions, took a lot of care in prepping and it looks awesome. From 80s faded mission brown to bright white. You've saved us buying whole new frames. Thank you!
Hi Josh I've been a professional painter for over 50 years in California. You did a beautiful job on those windows. If you don't mind may I make a suggestion? Please wear gloves when you're spraying your paint. I use the blue rubber gloves you see in Doctors offices. They are inexpensive. Paint and even paint thinners will eventually dry out your skin and more importantly the chemicals in enamel paint ( or really any paint) is atomized to a very small size that can actually enter you body through the pores of you skin. This is true weather you're using a spray can of paint or using an airless sprayer which incidentally is even more dangerous because airless spray goes directly into your blood stream if you accidentally spray any exposed part of your body at close range. Just a well meaning tip Josh and please keep up the great videos. Garry
Mate you’re a dead set fucken legend. My old windows in baliina were in a worse state and I never imagined I could do myself but your videos have meant they will soon look brand new. ❤
Perfect tutorial Josh. Exactly what I needed. Followed your step by step guide and literally turned the front of my house into the talking point of the street. Nice work mate. Much Love and Respect.
Thank you legend appreciate you watching on & the kind words. Nothing better than hearing you turned your house into something special with a little bit of my help🙏 Respect 👊
Your video gave me the confidence to give this a shot on some old brown aluminium windows which are now satin white both inside and out. Followed your directions and they came out fantastic. Thanks heaps for showing what to do here. Note to anyone else wanting to give it a shot: Prep is everything - take your time removing latches and masking up. For me (first time spray painting) the Etch primer ran a bit until I worked out what I was doing - When it’s dry sand the runs lightly back until smooth, wipe the dust, and carry on where you left off. The top coat goes on really easy. Just like a bought one :D
Thank you Josh for for a great video. Emma I am thinking of painting our brown windows white also, I was worried they nieghbour peal on the bottom as they are sliding windows. Did that happen with you.
Love this, just what I need. I had a look but cant see any comments about the black rubber seals. Do you spray paint over them? Especially as I will be painting from mission brown to white. The black seals would stand out but I dont want to destroy them!
Followed your instructions to the letter and now my dated 80’s metallic brown frames are refinished in ‘Grey Friars’ to match the new house colour. I reckon you’ve saved me thousands! Cheers mate, good job
Thanks Josh, doing a home reno myself and wanted to save some bucks on a sliding door but couldn't find the right colour even though there was plenty to buy as I didn't think you could paint them to a quality finish. Now I'm confident I can paint them now 👍🇦🇺
Hi Russe, yes most definitely you can achieve a factory finish just by painting them correctly with the right products & save some money also. Good luck with the Reno's 👍
Great demo! The white really makes the frames pop. I'm planning to do that to my 50 year-old bare aluminum window frames. Then install muntin kits for an upgraded look.
Josh you inspire me so much. I sit and watch your videos all day. I should be painting lol but if I watch you a few times it gives me the confidence to repaint all my cream windows to white . Not looking forward to sanding and painting old honey comb security screens though lol. Oh well that’s my challenge So looking forward to following you with more videos. You should be so proud of yourself
I did my windows from mission brown to primrose some 20 years ago. Nothing I could find back then in a pressure can, so I used an airless paint gun and exterior paint. Wandering the isles of Bunnings the other week, I seen it in a can! Thought, I need to do these again. Then I stumbled on your video. More interested in your prep than the painting. Great job! Glad I watched.🤘
Hi Noreen, haha most hardware or home depo should sell replacement caps for different size fan if not ebay definitely sells then. Hope this help! Thanks for watching
Hello I'm buying new Windows and doors in bulgaria they only sell them in 2 colours so I'm painting then via a brush and metal and wood paint do I need to prime them even when new also how do i seal them plz 😊
Great Video, would love to see your tips for painting the bottom track for sliding windows and any tips for doing the inside (my window frames have small overlaps when closed that look difficult to paint without sticking) Thanks again brother!
In our neighborhood in the Dallas suburbs the houses all have anodized aluminium frames and they don't age well in this scorching sun. I want to paint them. Do I need to sand all the way down to bare silver metal or just enough to get the paint to adhere?
If the frames have never been painted but they're a bit rusty, should you sand the rust off before doing the undercoat? Or is it okay to paint over it?
Awesome work Josh. In the process of changing our windows from cream to black. My first window was a bit of a mission to prep but hope that I get better and faster with the next 9 🥴😂 thanx for sharing
Hi Lisa, thank you for sharing & watching. love hearing about the transformations! The first one is always the hardest the next nine will be a breeze. You got this 💯🙏
I want to do outside and inside and in the tracks. Would this work? Aren’t parts missed like the door edges? Really want to change my awful brown windows to white. 😊
Hi Judith, yes most definitely as long as it's prepared right there will be no drama. Nothing is missed but that's up to you 😂 definitely be a good change
Hi Terri, just the same process and products just give extra sand and primer coats before top coating. And let it cure as long as you can before sliding. Cheers
great video mate. greetings from california. i like the way you wrapped the windows. i usually do it in one solid piece. but it kind of wastes paper a bit. i actually enjoy painting . also filming while working gets tricky sometimes. sometime i dont want to film but then i regret it when dont film. Hats off to you for filming and working its harder than it looks. i often feel as if people think i am talking to myself. haha but i do it any ways. thanks for the video Bru! maybe we can have a chat sometime...
Appreciate it mate. Much love from Newcastles. Australia 🌊🌞 yeah its not that easy filming and painting at the same time and can take twice as long to do the job fir that reason. Setting up to get the right angles can be frustrating when you need to just get the job done. But all worth it when the jobs complete and you got it looking 🔥 in person and on footage. If your on insta give us a follow and have a chat🙏🤙 peace
This is fantastic Josh. I googled to find out what I could do to update my old, brown, aluminium window frames and landed on your video. So awesome! I now have the confidence to give it a go, but would love to get my hands on your paper taping gadget. How brilliant is that? Anyway, you're an inspiration. Thank you.
That's awesome I have faith with following my direction you will have it covered. Good luck with it all. You can get the masker, tape and paper from most paint stores or bunnings🙂👍
Hey Josh thanks heaps for your videos. I’m about to start the process of painting all of our windows. Just one question, I would have thought I needed to remove the window that slides and paint in the tracks and the bottom of the sliding window frame??
Hi Kirsty, thank you for watching! Yes most definitely you can take out the sliding windows paint it out & the tracks and pop it straight back in all finished. Good luck on the repaint 🙏
You are a legend and what a great video. Inspirational and simple for us DIYers🙂 I have some blue powder coated windows that I am going to tackle (about 20 all up). Like some previous questions, I was wondering if the paint on the existing windows is in good condition I was hoping to not sand or use primer, but will do so if it is a better finish. Cheers mate and thanks again🙂
Awesome video and explanation. What a view. Not in aus anymore so going to find the American counterparts and get stuck into the 1980s brown trim yiewwww.
Hi Josh that’s a lot of hard work but welll worth it for the results. Thankyou. How do I match the colour white to my aluminium windows?or is there a standard white? Thanks Jennie
Hi Jennie, yes a lot of prep but definitely worth it💯 thank you for watching! The factory white (vivid white) from the dulux range would match your factory windows. Cheers josh
Hi Kiara I would usually say walls first & window's last but it can be hard taping up render. So I would spray window's first leave for a few days get a low tack tape and tape up window's do this render window surrounds then romove tape from window's straight away. Hope this helps & good luck 🙏
What grit sandpaper do you recommend for prepping aluminum? Getting ready to tackle ALL of our old 90s casement windows.This video is THE bomb...both my dad & grandpa were pros....I can see 'em shaking their heads that I'm actually going to use spray paint! 😂 THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Thank you for a great easy-to-follow vid. I have anodised aluminium frames (only two windows) so no powder coating. I’m going to replace the fly screens as they are pitted and falling apart. There’s nothing to scrape off the frames, so would it be best to just sand and use the etch primer before the top coats? Thanks in advance!
@@paintingbyjosh i have a spay gun. i had to take the slider out and mask that up and spray separately. So i sprayed in, out and sliders, 3 stages - took friggen ages.
I have horrible aluminium windows ,been quoted 6 ,5 k for 2 windows 1 door , Southern Spain really hot, will the paint blister, I'm up for having a go at it good video.
Hi Stephen, yeah that's definitely a little steep on price I'm sure you will be able to tackle them yourself if you follow the video they will definitely not blister with heat. Here in Australia it gets pretty hot here also. Good luck 👍
Thanks for the tutorial Josh. I wanted to ask, would you remove the window sash on each frame and pop rivet them back in after paining the frame and sash separately? Or spray with with the sash closed and then when dry open the and spray in between where the paint would not get when the window is closed?
I have an outside sun room made entirely out of the same aluminum old crappy looking stuff. I’m a painter myself and I know you can do the window trim and will work but I have been wanting to paint the aluminum on the sunroom. Does anyone know if that will work as good as the smaller window trim or will a bigger area not work as well. Its half aluminum wall and the top is half window so it’s much bigger. I know how to do it I have a lot of experience painting just never did this and it’s my house so I’m worried how it will turn out. Any suggestions.
@@hectorgrande8000 it should turn out perfectly fine mate. I have done a few sun rooms with the aluminium stripes. They come up factory finish and will last forever. Glad you have more confidence after watching the video 🤙🙌
I noticed that the rubber seals are painted. At least, I think I noticed that. Is that standard or a choice? I am thinking that trying to mask off the rubber, then cleaning any spots that bled through would be difficult.
All depending on the condition of the seals these one particularly where very dry and starting to split so in this case painting them was the best option for longevity. Cheers for watching
Thanks. I am going to be painting factory finished anodized (i think) windows in a high rise apartment. I have not done this before, I have to not paint the seals I think. Painting them would definitely be easier@@paintingbyjosh
Love this video, is there any products can replace the spay paint, my problem is I need to paint inside the house, too much preparation and can be messy with spray paint. Thanks a lot!
Out of all the windows have 2 or 3 where the bottom sash area has rusted, but are still solid. What do you recommend to take the rust off before priming?
Hi Ray. I would give it a good scrap down and wire brush the put a anti- rust primer. Etch prime over the whole window including back over the anti- rust primer, and two top coats✌
Gotta include the ladies 💯 i usually tape up the rubber but on these windows the rubbers was really dry so I thought it would be best to go over. Would last longer for sure.🙏
@@johannienel1 the black rubber seals where in a bad way. Dry & cracked they got primed to seal and protect and top coated. So yes this was the right way!
Thank you for adding comment about the bare aluminium. Its what I've been looking for. Painting the interior of the windows as the exterior belongs to strat compliance and they are 50 year old ugly windows. trusting black will be just the ticket. Geat Job
What if the coating on my windows is not flaky but actually perfect? The problem is I hate the colour... do I need to scrap the old coat first still or can I just prime it and paint over it?
I did it! I painted one window 😂 but I followed your instructions, took a lot of care in prepping and it looks awesome. From 80s faded mission brown to bright white. You've saved us buying whole new frames. Thank you!
Hi Mira, super happy you followed my video and got rid of one mission brown window, only ten to go😂
I’m literally about to paint my mission brown white helpfull video man cheers
Hi Josh I've been a professional painter for over 50 years in California. You did a beautiful job on those windows. If you don't mind may I make a suggestion? Please wear gloves when you're spraying your paint. I use the blue rubber gloves you see in Doctors offices. They are inexpensive. Paint and even paint thinners will eventually dry out your skin and more importantly the chemicals in enamel paint ( or really any paint) is atomized to a very small size that can actually enter you body through the pores of you skin. This is true weather you're using a spray can of paint or using an airless sprayer which incidentally is even more dangerous because airless spray goes directly into your blood stream if you accidentally spray any exposed part of your body at close range. Just a well meaning tip Josh and please keep up the great videos. Garry
Cheers legend i will definitely take your advice. RESPECT

That etch primer is HARSH on the lungs! ❤

Thanks for the tips. My frames are also brown anodized aluminum and look like crap.
Stoked to find this video and bonus that he was an Aussie bloke so that I could find the right tools and paints needed!
Thank you so much for watching Jade 🙏

This is so awesome Lain! I never get tired of hearing about the transformations. So happy I could help. Thanks for sharing 🙏
when you scraped the corroded aluminium window frame shivers went down my spine, reminds me of blackboards at school, i need ear plugs LOL.

What size and type of sandpaper do you use on the aluminium windows. Thank you.
Hi Delores, i like to use 240 grit sandpaper or sanding pad.
Thanks so much for the vid , will be getting rid of my dated red window frames for sure now.
glad it could help

If my aluminum windows aren’t corroded and in good condition do I skip the sanding and etch priming?
Hi, we are doing some ranch sliders. What do you do when it comes to the base & top rails where the door slides.

What about the rubber seal,??? Do you paint that as well.
Depending on the the conditions.If it's cracked & dry paint it out 👍
Excellent josh exactly what i was looking for. Bunnings crew told me nothing.
Thanks mate,They usually do mate. Even if they did give advice I really wouldn't take it💯
Hey Josh, how many cans did you use? Ive got 10 windows with security screens and a screen door to do
Awesome job mate
What do you clean with bare aluminium? Sugarsoap?
Yeah just some sugar soap on a damp cloth 👍
I’ve got stucco walls. What will stick to it when taping and papering?
Hi, I would use a cloth/render tape this will stick to the stucco. 🙏
Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I’ve been lost on what to do with our dates aluminium windows and this is exactly what I want them to look like!
Awesome to hear Katie & thank you for watching 🙌 sharing is success! Would love to know how they turn out.
Awesome stuff mate love your work
Appreciate you watching on and the kind word's 🙏
What about the fly screens?
Exact same process
I love using the dulux duramax. Ive had great success doing windows and wire screens.
Such a good product! Easy to use and great perfect finish. Glad to hear you got the same result.

Thanks ❤️ I’m renovating my home. And this will help ❤️

Good luck with the Reno 🙏❤
What about for sliding windows? Do you have to take them out so you can get full coverage?
Did you tape over the rubber seal around windows ? it looks like its exposed when you prime but maybe its a shadow line ???
I'm pretty sure they where left exposed on this one. The rubber seals where in bad condition also👍
Great video I’m going to give this a go
Awesome Grant. Good luck mate
If it is just bare metal, does it still need to be sanded before applying the primer?
Hi Amy, if it's free of dust and dirt you can go straight over with a etch primer. 👍

Hey Josh
About the rubber/plastic around the windows, u did not mask them. Would that cause an issue in long term?
Hi mate, they where cracked and real brittle in this case painting them was definitely a better option than leaving. Cheers 🙏
I noticed that the rubber seals are painted. At least, I think I noticed that. Is that standard or a choice? I am thinking that trying to mask off the rubber, then cleaning any spots that bled through would be difficult.

This video is definitely going to come handy then. Congrats on the house & good luck with the painting 🙌 thanks for watching
Well done josh
Great video buddy
Legend mate. thank you 🙏
Love your videos josh, would u also try seal n peel on the glass or is it just so much faster taping and masking paper?
do you remove the panels to paint all the panels that slide? my aluminium windows slide in( sandwich)
Great video - but as far as I can tell this paint brand is not sold in the US. Can anyone in the US recommend a substitute?
Love this video, is there any products can replace the spay paint, my problem is I need to paint inside the house, too much preparation and can be messy with spray paint. Thanks a lot!
Thanks may

🙏🙏
Do you have to take all the paint off if the windows aren't corroded? We just wanna get rid of the cream colour in our house
Hi Holly, no just give a light sand, prime & straight over with your top coats. Hope this helps. Cheers
Good Job, thanks so much for sharing
Thank you Mahandma
Inspired!!! THANK YOU!
Thank you 🙏
Hi josh is the same process followed inside as well?
Hi Steve, yes the exact same process for interior/exterior 👍
What makes the dulux spray paint have hairline cracks through it??
It's usually from some kind of product still on the aluminium. Hope this helps chloe🙏
Hey Josh, great video and great finish. What grit sandpaper did you use on the aluminium?
Also, any tips on filling holes or dents please.
Scott
Thank Scott, I usually use a 240 grit depending on how corroded it is. You could use a cold-weld product to fill any damage. Hope this helps 👍
@@paintingbyjosh Thanks Josh
Love that you include us painting ladies. Would you mask off any exposed rubber seals around the frames? Thanks
Gotta include the ladies 💯 i usually tape up the rubber but on these windows the rubbers was really dry so I thought it would be best to go over. Would last longer for sure.🙏
Did you just paint straight over the black window rubber seals?
Yes i did paint over the black rubber seals.
@@paintingbyjosh is that the right way?
@@johannienel1 the black rubber seals where in a bad way. Dry & cracked they got primed to seal and protect and top coated. So yes this was the right way!
Thanks. More confident now. Off to bunnings
Thank you for adding comment about the bare aluminium. Its what I've been looking for. Painting the interior of the windows as the exterior belongs to strat compliance and they are 50 year old ugly windows. trusting black will be just the ticket. Geat Job
@paintingbyjosh do we need to sand before priming if windows are in good shape?
Yes still definitely need a light sand. Cheers josh
Thanks bro, 1 question: what should you do with windows that slide open or just open in general?
Hey bro, They can usually be taken out and sprayed 👍
What if the coating on my windows is not flaky but actually perfect? The problem is I hate the colour... do I need to scrap the old coat first still or can I just prime it and paint over it?
hi. Is it possible to change color of bronze aluminum windows to charcoal? If so what are the materials needed?
Hi,
I would use the same Product I used in this video but in the colour you are after 👍
