Primer from Mobile Launch tower contributed to STS disaster?

One new aspect is that the primer on the tower the shuttle sits by had a primer that reacts with rainwater and causes micro pits in the Carbon-carbon leading edges of orbiters....Those are the original leading edges on all of the shuttles? Can they be replaced and do we have spares?
