I have a nice old GRP Solo that I’d like to (cosmetically) spruce up before I sail it a bit next year and decide whether I want to stick with the class. Any recommendations r.e paint for the floor in particular? Brands/types/tips would be much appreciated!

Painting GRP boats overall is a bit problematic, in that the most effective paints are viciously expensive and unpleasant to handle. However if you only want to do the floor I've found International Interdeck to be surprisingly durable and straightforward to handle.

for the outside the international 2 packs are very durable if you use the primer but add a bit of weight.
I've used interdeck with good results. The grey looks very smart. It's very non slip i.e. quite abrasive. |

Nooooo, don't paint a GRP boat. Once it's painted it will always have to be repainted. And unless it's sprayed it looks kak. imo
