So, I got my top side pieces of new metal on this weekend. So excited! My brothers helped- it was over 90 degrees in the barn- ugh! IMG_7222 by kathy, I now know I did not need as many staples along the perimeter- UGH! Live and learn I guess. IMG_7229 by kathy, I used the electric metal shears- and it worked GREAT !! IMG_7236 by kathy, on Flickron Flickron Flickr Last night I cut out the bathroom window opening and wanted to see how my nice and shiny window looked. Of course- it had a screw in it that I did not see, and I scratched the new metal just a bit. ( sorry- no photo) What is the best way to fix this? Should I lightly sand and then shoot with some white paint? The metal is the Polar White from Hemmet Valley. Thanks all Kathy

That's what I would do-sand it and paint.

You need to take a small piece of that metal to a place that does computer matching for mixing paint. I couldn't find anything off the shelf that matched. And don't spray it because the over spray will dull the original finish around it. Use a foam roller for the best results. You will scratch it again so you need some of this touch up paint anyhow.
