if i were to romove my carpets what would i paint the floor with?? and would i spray it or just hammerite it??

[minimadjonesy]

Stone chip? That's what I used on my last car! you can then spray over it with colour!

if it is under the carpet i think that it would probly only need some hammerite ar stonechip, as was said, but its the underneath that needs protecting more

yeah just under the carpet. so i can just brush it on??

Remove any light rust and lose paint
Give it a good clean and remove all the dirt that gets trapped in the corners

Then using a brush give the whole floor a couple of coats of Hammerite

I have also done this to the boot floor as it makes it much harder wearing

I did mine with hammerite smooth "brush-on" paint last week. It works well.

Why not check the sills / floor for rust while the carpets are out? A hammer and screwdriver does the job nicely.

So true! I ended up discovering ALL the rust, loads of holes, and got it welded up the next week! I'm so happy to have a floor again!!
