If you have old aluminum windows and you want a color change, but do not want to replace it, do not worry, there is a cost effective solution to achieve the color change like without replacing them. It is the restoration of the aluminum window.
There are two steps in the restoration process of the aluminum window. First, paint the window frames made of aluminum in the color you want, and secondly, to make complete a review mechanism for the old windows not only look back, but according to new slides easily over the opening.
Aluminium window painting process provides a very durable finish that resembles the factory finish aluminum frames new powder coating of the window. However, this process can only be achieved through the use of a painter very well informed, trained and specialized spray painting with HVLP spray equipment and poly urethane two-pac paint application.
Simply paint your windows acrylic enamel or oil-based paint with a brush does not reach the objective as well as spray paint. Using a single pac paint is also a problem because of the durability.
The 3 steps in the process of restoring aluminum windows are:
1. Preparation. The preparation is what has the most time and it is tempting for traders who have no experience in two pac paint spraying DIY and home renovator to take shortcuts. Often, the reductions are the result of lack of knowledge, instead of being lazy. However, the final result of not taking the right amount of preparation is of poor quality finish less durable.
2. The paint application for two pac paint application, it is important that the substrate is free of dirt, grease or dirt to accumulate. The exterior of the chassis window can be cleaned with non-salt water and soap and a sponge base. To be thoroughly rinsed with fresh water or cleaning pressurized water. However, this can be done indoors so you can use as a washing solvent prepsol. A solvent wash may be used on both sides. Use a scouring pad to apply an industrial solvent quality. Before Washing the interior structure, it is preferable vacuuming inside the clues first remove dust or the accumulation of errors.
Cloth Cleaning the cleaning process is important. Apply the solvent with a clean cloth in small sections, as it evaporates quickly. The problem is that while the residue containing dirt and grime quickly be maintained at least wipe with a clean dry cloth.
Introduction to the surface by sanding is probably the most tedious but very important. 120grit surfaces using chalk to powder, 240 grains of chalk powder coated surfaces, and 60 grit surfaces anodized. It is imperative that the surfaces anodized aggressively attacked and set properly. Use 80-grit and lighter in the anodised surfaces is a waste sandpaper and time.
Mask and protect all the glue that holds the glass in place. Protection of the glass itself and around all surfaces finished spray during paint application is critical. Go to this process and you have a clean bill of cost.
Three layers of two pac application painting is recommended by the largest paint manufacturers. The first layer is a light coat of primer (pac single etch primer is recommended) should be left to dry for at least 30 minutes or less depending on temperature and humidity. Once dry, apply two layers thick middle and upper. However, it is recommended to apply four consecutive thin layers, with time intervals between the layers to reduce happen. This helps to evaporate the solvent and the paint begins to sticky.
3. Mechanical review. Once painted and all masking is removed, the review mechanics can begin. This includes replacing all windows and sliding rollers, door installation time felt again to stop rattle on the window openings and the control window closing springs and installation of new docks, the closure can be worn. Replacement when there is full replacement springs are available. Sliding door handles can also be replaced.
