What was found

COMPLING WITH THE INSPECTION IN ACFT, WE FOUND THAT THE PAINT HAD FLAKED OFF OF THE TOP OF THE SECTOR LEAVING EXPOSED METAL. ONCE REMOVED WE COULD FLAKE THE REMAINING PAINT WITH A FINGER NAIL. IT APPEARED THAT THE PAINT HAD BEEN APPLIED WITH A BRUSH RATHER THAN SPRAYED. THIS PLANE SN SHOULD HAVE HAD A PROTECTIVE COATING APPLIED AS A PART OF A PREVIOUS SB BY THE FACTORY. IT APPEARS THE PAINT DID NOT ADHERE TO THE METAL.
