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.

On my CFI checkride my instructor warned me that the PI might try to
take the cig lighter out of the plane. Its required equipment
apparently because it was certified with it.

Didn't weight too much did it? After all the airplane is now "one cigarette
lighter" ;-)

Was the lighter listed as required equipment on the equipment list or TCDS?
My airplane was certified with 4 ashtrays, but they're not required equipment.

My CFI said lighters are on the equipment list. Sure enough when I
went home and looked at the equipment list of my airplane he was
right, its right there. To change the equipment list you need an log
entry.
