I'm guessing you need to change epoxies.  

Try contacting the epoxy manuf. and ask their tech people about it.  Those folks really do know their stuff.

I haven't used a urethane epoxy before, but the water borne urethane floor finishes I've used have some solvent suspended in them that makes solvent based sharpies run, so maybe your urethane epoxy has a solvent in it that doesn't play nice with your paint scheme.

I'd switch to a known epoxy with an alcohol solvent, like D2T, Etex, or NuLustre, and see if they work.
