{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Rod Line-Up Markings?

I've always just sighted down the rod against the sky above and ignored the line-up marks.  You could take some white-out and do your own if you want -- I used to white out my bait rods so I could see the tip move if a catfish or carp was messing around with it in low light conditions ;).

So a couple of my rods don't have line-up markings on the respective pieces near each joint.  The 2 piece is obviously easier to assemble accurately, but the 4-piece is always a pain.  Anyone have any tips for getting around this, or type of paint that I could use to mark myself?  I was thinking craft paint from Michael's or something of the like.  But even then, anyone have a great way to know your pieces are 100% lined up before marking? 

 

Thanks in advance!
