to paint or not to paint

[mbu10]

well
have all seats out
all the carpets out waiting for a new set
anyway
have sealed all nuts , cable holes and other varous holdes with sealant and rubber matting
(want to make sure is waterproof for the new carpets
anyway
thinking of painting the floor pan and side of tunnel with paint so looks nicer(with carpets out)
and maybe the adesive will get a better grip when i put carpets backin
any idea what paint i could use
and if this is a good idea

Must say I wouldn't bother...

Dont see the point to be honest. But if you're bored..............................

well honestly i am another week till carpets arrive
my thoughts were as well
that i know i have sealed everything
but paint would add another level of sealing as would fill any small micro fractures in the sealant i have missed
but what paint?
