Painting Parking Lines on Epoxy

Hey Guys, I have a lift (Bendpak/GrandPrix GP-7LCS) in my garage and I've found it useful to mark where to stop to line cars up properly with chassis jacking points. This lift is fairly narrow so a wider car like a new Mustang really needs to line up just right for the best lifting position possible, we're talking an inch making a difference.

If you've seen jet bridge parking for aircraft it's something like this:

I'm looking to do a similar scheme for my cars on my epoxy flooring under the lift. I'm really not sure what to use to paint the lines. Spray paint doesn't seem right, plus I have a nice air-conditioned space so I'd prefer to avoid having to air it all out. I'm thinking something that rolls on? What would stick to epoxy?

I see this at home depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rust-Ol...onal-Traffic-Striping-Paint-2593402/100115597

Would that work?

What about just a high quality tape? Not that much traffic that it would wear fast? I like temporary stuff.
If it has to be permanent I’d do epoxy. Sand the epoxy there so it sticks

Tape.

Or more epoxy, rolled on. Sherwin Williams makes some nice 2 part marking paints.

But for the little bit you need tape is the answer

You might have to look a little bit these days, but if you can find a REAL signpainter in your area, he can do the job right! No 'masking' or stencils needed. Skip the 'stickers'----vinyl is a bad idea for any sign, especially for lettering that will be walked and driven on. :S

I'd take a look at it if I was nearby.

We have lots of clients use our yellow Armorultra urethane. Tape it off and lightly scratch with steel wool and apply. We sell it in small sample sizes.
