8. A test patch of the cleaning method(s) shall be reviewed and approved on site by staff of the Historic Preservation Commissio n of South Bend and St. Joseph County. Test patches should always be carried out well in advance of cleaning (including exposure to all seasons if possible.) 9. Cleaning to remove corrosion and paint removal should be considered only where there is deterioration and as part of an overa ll maintenance program which involved repainting or applying other appropriate protective coatings. Paint or other coatings help retard the corrosion rate of the metal. Leaving the metal base will expose the surface to accelerated corrosion. 10. Repainting should be based on paint seriation studies. If an adequate record does not exist repainting shall be done with colors that are appropriate to the style a and period of the building.
