Summary of Issue

There have been alot of concerns in regards to this bulletin.

Justification or Need

The portion of the memo attracting the most attention dealt with painting. While there was agreement that a heavy paint build-up under the lug nuts could cause difficulties, there was apprehension that the note implied any paint at all could spell trouble. Corrosion is also considered a problem and many were worried that the memo was usggesting that no portion of a wheel should be painted.
