right ive got perfect floors that need painting, i have bought some good old hammerite that i want to coat it in. my question is how do i prep it ready for the painting i.e removing the dust and C**p? what is the best way to clean it? i was thinking a hoover and paintbrush for the dust but what about making it grease free, would white spirit be of any use?

i would suggest using wire brush,wipe over with a degreaser or panel wipe white spirt would do.a quick rub ober with some 240 dry paper and then paint away

wouldnt the 240 make more dust? or do i clean after that?

yes it will and will need to clean it off if no air line then hoover will do,then degrease,you need to rub down to give paint a key nothing to heavy should only take bout 10min.
