Yes, you read that right. I know filling in manufacturer markings has been controversial in the firearms community for a long time. However, after messing around with it for a few minutes tonight, it sure would make manufacturer markings easier to see and photograph for my research/reference. Here, a grey crayola ‘twistable’ crayon was used to fill in the markings.

Not my thing but if do it well and it helps YOU identify your own stuff, who cares what anyone else thinks.

Great Ideal! Plus it’s not permanent

I have been filling in markings for a decade now for similar reasons, plus I think it looks cool. Using an oil based marker, filling it in and then wiping it off with your finger and following that with an a magic eraser will leave you with a semipermanent roll mark fill.
It is awesome, when you want to remove it you just hit it with some brake cleaner or acetone.
You might have to do a couple coats, or be careful with the magic eraser if the roll marks are shallow, but it looks perfect like it came from the factory.
