if no disassembly of the primary structure or operating system of the aircraft is involved". I have a 152 that needs some areas of the paint touched up, requiring some light sanding, application of primer, and paint. Would it be legal for me to carry this work out myself?

It has been used by a pilot in Darwin on a 182 - the argument when questioned by a CASA AWI was the reference you used above.
This would have been ok on a small scale. But doing one entire wing, then a month or so later the other wing, then the tail a bit later. Caught doing the fuse.
He was inform it is clearly going to be complete paint job and we will probable "ping" you for that.
So it was clear small sections I.A.W approved data was OK with CASA (in Darwin, on that day, by that AWI -!!).
