Thank you, Lynn.  Those are the exact concerns I had.  Thank you for confirming.  I'll pull the IHPC policy and hand over to Buildings & Grounds.   

Thank you, Donna, too, for the lead on the primer.

  I collected some resources on this subject several years ago and everything I found recommended against its use.  The Michigan State Historic Preservation Office/Michigan Historical Center has a policy against it, too long to share here but perhaps available online. Here’s the policy of the Indianapolis Historic Preservation Commission as published in 2010:



  IHPC Policy about Permanent Coating Systems

  Permanent coatings first came to staff’s attention when one of these products was being used on a historic

  property in 1999. Staff researched the products at that time and developed a policy. The commission

  expressed agreement with the policy when staff presented it to them at a pre-meeting. Staff then published

  the policy in the December 1999 issue of “This Old Column” (copy attached to this report), which was

  distributed to historic neighborhood associations.

  In addition to the concerns raised in “This Old Column,” others include:

  • Lack of reversibility and the long-term effects on coated items

  • Inability to repaint with conventional paint at a later date

  • Loss of architectural detailing and crisp shadow lines. Product literature claims that, when properly

  applied, the resulting coat is ten times thicker than a coating of conventional paint

  Anyone have input on Rhino Shield versus oil paint?  How does it behave?  Thoughts on its use as an alternative material?  Client church and steeple in need of paint and they're considering using this product to reduce maintenance costs.
