Thanks guys, I appreciate to positive comments. I've already did a bit of spotting with some green and black paint. Too much and I can just overpaint it. I checked Google for Victorian copper roofs and yeah, some are 100% green, but still streaked with a bit of white and black. Got lots of choices and the time to play around. I'll try the chalk thing too, just to see if I can get it more realistic looking.

Don, I think you are modeling modern day so you could paint the roof to a color of modern day steel roofing. One color is penny brite copper. There is also a green and blue. Different styles and manufactures offer all different colors so you could get away with anything.  You could even place a little sign in the yard advertising the metal roofing company so they would give you a hefty discount.

There is a Historic District on my layout cared for by the "Society for the Preservation of Old Things", (ie: SPOT), and they're insisting that I maintain the Victorian era look before they'll let me place this building anywhere near that area. As it is, they've graciously agreed to extend the Historic District to the empty lot across the street, so I'd better listen to these folks... Antique copper is the material of choice and still getting a discount from the roofing company.
