Narrative:

The centerline markings (painted) were just about impossible to see on runway 26 at lbb. It was very difficult to keep my aircraft on the center of the runway during our takeoff roll (safety hazard). Both landing lights and taxi light on our aircraft were 'on' and working. First officer reported this to tower on climb out. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter states that the tower response when informed of the problem was just 'ok.' he was just about to abort the takeoff when he caught a glimpse of portions of the centerline. He feels this is an extremely unsafe condition.
