Paint/Body question??

Hi

I am having to replace three of the wings on my T25 and as i was cutting them out found that there was a white coating between the paint and the metal. It is quite thick and at first i thought it was filler!! Is it ment to be there as it apears to be on the whole pannel?

Cheers Rob
