Well it's not just paint but on the inside grove of the csp there is a little "chip" cut into it. There should be 1 chip by itself (where the white mark should be) and 3 other chips (red) mark// white marks.

hope it helps a bit.

use the cam gears. when the arrows are pointing up, cylinder one is at tdc.

And then mark the pulley for future reference.

Since you mention 90k miles, if you haven't done so already, it would be a great time to do the timing belt as well.
