Floorboards better to use decking oil.i personally wouldn't paint.

Brian · Answer

I assume you want to paint them a colour .
I would suggest a good coat of a oil based undercoat then a coat or two of a oil based gloss then a coat of yacht varnish to finish.
Depending on how much use the floor gets that should last for years

Apply a thin coat of paint to the floorboards with a roller or natural bristle paint brush. The brush will create a smoother finish; the roller a more stippled look. Allow to dry thoroughly before applying two more thin coats, with drying time between the two.

Masood · Answer

sure that you leave the paint to fully harden before placing any furniture back in the room and stay off the floor as much as possible during this time. Finally, adding an extra coat of your chosen paint or a clear matt varnish can give your floorboard paint a longer life.
