Reclaimed tile can be matched on Fountain Valley heritage roofs, but the underlayment beneath it should always be new. Realistically, standing seam on a Fountain Valley property hides its fixings, which removes the most common leak path on exposed metal. That is as true in Fountain Valley as anywhere in Orange County. Silicone coatings hold up well on Fountain Valley roofs that pond slightly, where acrylic would not.
