Unsafe Condition
During the paint removal process, the basic corrosion protection (anodizing and primer) coating was sanded down to bare metal on the aluminum skin panels, and the bare metal might not have been treated correctly for corrosion prevention. This could result in pitting corrosion damage and reduced metal thickness, leading to reduced static and fatigue strength of the airplane's structural parts.
