Question about painting concrete

[soap]

I'm going to paint a free throw line and 3 point line in our driveway for our basketball net. I'm trying to decide the best approach.......should I do regular paint or epoxy? If I do regular paint I'm assuming I'll have to touch it up every year or so. Should I pay extra for a can of epoxy or being that it's outside will I end up having to touch that up too?

Thanks in advance.

I do this, regular house paint will last 3-4 years before touching up.

Use a rattle can.... water/weather is going to make it lift.

Prepare to do it for the rest of your life. It will not stay in Michigan.

I know it'll be a maintenance issue. I'm fine with that while we have kids at home.

Kind of on topic, has anyone painted a concrete garage floor? I know apoxy looks nice, but it isn't very durable. I was thinking a simple grey paint.

daily driver garage, epoxy only

toy garage latex will last 3-4 years buy can be touched up

oil based will last longer

but if its a older house without a vapor barrier nothing will last
