This is CORROSION, and while minor now, you will have to have it addressed at some point before it gets worse.


Corrosion in the middle of a panel is something easily dealt with by scrubbing it away and repainting the affected spot. Corrosion at a seam or rivet line could be something horrible that requires rebuilding a structure to eliminate.

Corrosion is like cancer. It grows and spreads over time. Once it's found a way to crawl into the airplane, it has become (near) fatal.
