After some *years*, the paint lifted in various parts, where I drive the

about doing it again.

It would never occur to me that I'd be doing the wrong thing by applying
a stabiliser first. The fact that it's lifting (or should I just say
'worn away') now is fair wear and tear if you ask me. By the way I've
parked the car in in the garage every night, for 14 years.

You may not have done anything wrong but I am told that rubber car
tyres reacts with ordinary floor paint and pulls it off. (I painted my
garage floor with Crown floor paint a couple of years ago and you
could see where my car had been after a very short period of light use
- I have a can of Crown Epimac floor paint to put down when I feel in
the mood for clearing the floor; apparently that should be OK.)
