Zusammenfassung:A method for changing the color and texture of ceramic roofing tiles, including the steps of identifying a damaged tile to be replaced, cleaning the damaged tile, optically measuring the damaged tile to yield a color determination, and selecting a replacement tile of the same shape and general color, immersing the replacement tile in a quantity of acid, removing the tile from the acid after a first predetermined length of time has passed to yield an acid-treated replacement tile, rinsing the acid-treated replacement tile to remove remaining acid, measuring the color of the acid-treated replacement tile, and washing the acid-treated replacement tile.
