Narrative:
[We] received aircraft from another [aircraft operator] company and had a vinyl wrap installed in [aircraft operator name] paint scheme/colors instead of it getting painted. My involvement in this acceptance inspection/repair of [the aircraft] was to assist with a structural repair on the aft rh fuselage skin at an estimated fs [number]. I removed the vinyl wrap in the repair area to perform/install approved repair by [company name] product support engineering.our FAA certification management team (cmt) cannot say that it is a violation of the regulations to have vinyl wrap on an aircraft; but also can't say it's not either. My upper management in [aircraft operator name] decided to remove all the vinyl wrap on [the aircraft] and have all mechanics associated with the inspection/repair of [the aircraft] to submit a NASA report.
