🧰 Tips for Touching Up Scratches

✅ 1. Clean the Area

Use a soft cloth and mild soap to clean the scratched surface thoroughly.
Allow it to dry completely before proceeding.


✅ 2. Lightly Sand (Optional)

For deeper scratches or rough edges, lightly sand the affected area to smooth it out before painting.
Use fine-grit sandpaper (400–600 grit) and wipe clean after sanding.


✅ 3. Shake the Spray Can

Follow the can’s label instructions — typically, shake for 1–2 minutes to ensure the paint is fully mixed.


✅ 4. Apply Light Coats

  • Hold the spray can 8–12 inches away from the surface.

  • Apply 2–3 thin coats in short, even bursts rather than one heavy coat.

  • Allow each coat to dry for 15–30 minutes before reapplying.


✅ 5. Allow Proper Drying Time

Let the paint cure for a few hours before touching or reinstalling any pergola parts.
Avoid spraying in high humidity or windy conditions for best results.


⚠️ Important Notes

  • Avoid overspray onto nearby louvers or accessories — use painter’s tape or cardboard shielding.

  • Do not use household paints or enamel coatings — they will not adhere properly to powder-coated aluminum.

  • For large paint damage or multiple scratches, contact Hansø Support for replacement touch-up kits.
