Default S1 interior floor paint.

As title really. Had the carpet out to clean it and the seats and the floor is a bit grubby. It is 20 odd years old after all Cleaned it up best i can but i want to paint it while everything is out. Don't want a top quality spray job or anything, just wanna hand paint it and have it looking a lot better. Anyone used or can recommend the best stuff to use ? Been told to use white hammerite as it's not a bad match colour wise but open to suggestions. cheeRS, Dry.

not sure about the inside, but on the underside of my floor I had some synthetic enamel mixed at a car paint factors, I then applied this with a foam roller I got from the pound shop, finish was very good, I am not a fan of hammerite products, as years ago I painted a mini underside with it and discovered it covered well, but it did not adhere as well as I thought and rust continued under the paint although it looked fine, ended up scraping it all off and derusting, etch priming, stone chipping and top coating with normal synthetic enamel, had no issues with it at all since, and that was about 18 years ago.
