Refinishing aluminium windows

[on-one]

I'm about to start pulling the windows out of my boat to replace the seals and clean them up. They're aluminium and appear to be sound can anyone recomend a good powdercoater in brisbane or is there something in an aerosol can that would work ok to paint them with?

One other question, what should I use to bed them in with? Is bathroom silicone ok is there some sort of special marine sealant?

thought this was covered before.
u can get aerosol and paint any colour u want in 2 pak and if u want to do urself it can be mixed in iso free.
The units are called preval and completely reusable and cost about $17, and gas refills can be bought for them at about $11.
This way u can use any paint through an aerosol.
Just gotta buy ur paint.

Cheers

thanks shubeej & seahorse, i'd prefer aerosal if I can as I want to do one window at a time which would be a lot of trips to a powdercoater. Where can I buy these and do they have to be used within certain time?
