Natural silver lead is a raw metal alloy that will oxidize when it comes into contact with the atmosphere. The initial shiny finish gradually dulls down to form a natural grey patina. During this process, the lead may look discoloured with various colours appearing on the surface. Excess rainfall can cause spotting or white powdery deposits to form. This is normal.
The deposits can be wiped away but avoid polishing as this will mean the process will start again! Eventually, the dull grey patina will develop. The time this will take is variable and dependent on the weather, location, and other atmospheric conditions local to the installation. All non-coated silver lead eventually develops this dull grey colour.
The antique lead option is a special coating on the lead that is a dark grey colour at the point of installation and does not oxidise in the same way as bare lead.
