Mine was pretty clean underneath after removing all the engine oil which seemed to have rust proofed it. Seemed a shame to strip it all off, so i just stone chipped the edges around the sills, then coated the whole floor in red oxide, followed by two coats of industrial strength floor paint in grey, which was close to the original colour.
