Yes, You Can Spray Aluminum Sliding Doors

You should always prime it first to guarantee a professional, high-quality finish on our aluminum spray painting projects. This process removes any existing oxidization while helping the paint adhere properly to the metal. Once this step has taken its course (usually around 3-6 hours), spray a thin coat of color. After another 3-6 hours, you need to add another coat – hopefully, enough to preserve its look for years.

Use only high-quality paint when painting aluminum surfaces to ensure they won’t bubble or flake with changing temperatures or stain when wet. Spraying or brushing on paint works equally well – however, spraying tends to provide greater precision and smoother finishes without added texture. However, take caution and spray only in well-ventilated environments, equipped with all safety goggles and gloves as necessary.

Once the final coat of paint has been set, it is recommended to wipe over door and window frames with clean water to ensure no remaining dust or dirt particles. This can be done manually or using a soft nylon bristle pipe cleaner – either way, it should easily reach any hard-to-reach corners and gaps. Once this step has been completed, simply reattach any hardware, such as handles, doorknobs, and knockers, then check that everything works as it should before taking pride in your newly painted aluminum sliding door!

Can You Paint Over Powder Coated Aluminum?

Most people know that powder coating offers an alternative to liquid coating, creating a more durable and attractive finish on aluminum products, especially exterior items exposed to harsh weather conditions. But sometimes, you should change the appearance of your doors and windows or their color schemes altogether.

Powder-coated aluminum is easy to paint over, as its surface already features paint. To ensure success when painting over powder-coated aluminum, ensure it has been cleaned, sanded, and prepared properly before starting any painting work. An acrylic latex powder paint will guarantee lasting results resistant to abrasions and corrosion.
