Will need to be repainted.
there are a few skins (left and right flaps and left stabilator/elevator)
that have either dents or small patches, and would therefore need to be
reskinned before painting.


I forgot to add this to my other post. Check with an IA about skin
patches applied to balanced control surfaces. I think that is not an
approved repair.

Yep, in most cases the only repair available to a control surface is
to reskin.
