It may not be that the "water based" product is the only culprit . . . my
alkyd/poly floor paint which is sprit-thinned does the same darned thing
'til it ages for about a year.  I stopped the "pull-up" when I started using
a "super-adherent" primer, but I still get a very permanent black tire print
everywhere a tire is parked for a few months after I apply a new coat.  I
think I'm gonna try one of the new "gee-whiz" top-coat epoxies now that
there
is one which is supposed to stick to my old alkyd paint.  (Griggs)
