Rifle Scopes painting over the turret rotation lines after zero

[SkaerE]

i was shooting the other day and missed by a helluva margin, realized i was off by an entire rotation (thought i had brought it back to my zero... but had not)

anyhow, i was thinking of painting over all the horizontal lines below my zero mark to avoid this in the future. anyone else do this?

i know i should be aware which rotation is my zero but with 3 rifles sporting the same scopes all with different zeros i'm not so good at it.

You stack washers between the turret housing and knob until the knob can't go any lower than your zero.

I'd just paint over the lines like you said. It would be easy enough to remove with some acetone if you changed your mind.
