The examiner is coming out to you, approaches the airplane and says
"I see there are no wheel pants on this airplane.

Was the plane type certified without wheel paints? If the paints came
with the plane than you may not be in compliance with your
certificate. If not then an A&P notation in the logs is required along
with the statement "W&B change negaligable" or a new W&B. I don't
recall if wheel paint R&R is covered in preventative maintenance but
if it is, and its your plane, you may be able to make the notation.

Paints or pants?
