Narrative:

Departing terminal a at ewr I noticed the taxi lines between taxiway RA and rc are poorly painted and extremely difficult to see even in the day time. At night or during a rain event they are virtually impossible to see. This failure of the airport to properly paint the lines could cause an aircraft to taxi too close to the terminal or any of the aircraft parked in 'amelia' or 'lindy' parking area and strike an obstruction or parked aircraft. Require the port authority/ewr facility to repaint the taxi lines.
