Default White paint on hammer?

My new M&P 10 Sport came with an interesting white paint marking on the hammer, as per attached photo. Any ideas what's going there?

One of my M&Ps (M&P15 or 15-22 - I can't remember) had a drop of white paint on the face of the hammer.

Well, I got a response from S&W:

" Some parts may be marked in the manufacturing process. There is no significance to the white paint. "

That certainly explains it!
