Hey Bruce, thanks for the maint. pics. I've rooted through dozens of them, too. These show a lot of ZC. I've been stewing over the nose gear well. . . you can't see any of it once it is installed.

It looks to be white. That's the color I painted mine.

Most if not all wheel wells on US aircraft since the 60s or so have been gloss white. I’m pretty sure that this is for inspection purposes to show an evidence of fluid leakage.
