Hi all
This is my roof flashing, I cannot even tell if its lead but it seems so after seeing how malleable it is
I cannot stand how it looks. I don't know what was done to it and why is not gray-ish colour.
I suspect it was painted.
What should I do with it? How to clean it to restore its look?

www.softwashing.uk

Or would it be best to cover it up with something like
Thanks for any advice
