That coating is a very thin rubber that has become brittle, and is flaking off, revealing the white weave material. See picture #1. I have begun replacing the rubber coating with rescue tape, part #01-00990 in the Aircraft Spruce catalog. That tape is amazing stuff. It is every bit as tough and flexible as the original rubber coating. See picture #2. I have finished the hoses for the main gear and will do the nose gear hoses in time. I have no other issues with my hydraulic system. I have minor seepage here and there and top up the reservoir a bit each annual.
