rustoleum or krylon rust paints (spray can) stick fine. they just take a week or so to dry then they're done (fuel proof too).
all white is bad news on cloudy/overcast days. Hard enough sometimes to see coloured ones let alone white. re-consider if you can.
if you do paint, make the markings at least 6 inches wide. Otherwise, they'll just kinda fade away and you won't see the effect you want.
