Under what circumstances is the neccessity to remove all organic coating from a detail part considered a repair? Not Aircraft Depaint or even subassembly depaint, but a sole detail part, being manufactured as-new when situations arise where incorrect paint is applied or adhesion fails, etc.
Scenerio:
The A/C Program in question has a stripping specification in existance which provides expansive instructions, limitations and prohibited strippers for certain materials (ie; for material protection).
If planned/documented properly, specifications are followed and parts are not physically altered/degraded in any way, and the result is a blueprint part (ex. an aluminum stiffener); how does this constitute anything but Rework Activity in some Aircraft Structure Engineering Circles?
Example: a part was painted with Fluid Resistant Primer by an approved subcontractor but required an other paint system altogether. For simplicity, the part is not Fracture Critical, Serialized, or Life Limited.
Inputs welcomed, Thanks.
