    <description>&lt;P&gt;I have old painted wooden floor in 70 yr old house. It's green underneath the brown paint . How do I remove the paint and should I repaint over the wood floors or sand it. Floorboards are not quite even.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hello &lt;SPAN style="background: var(--ck-color-mention-background); color: var(--ck-color-mention-text);"&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/20333"&gt;@mitch66&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;Thanks for sharing your question about painting your wooden floors. Looking at your second photo I can see that you have a bit of cupping occurring on the flooring panels. I believe that this can still be overcome with a floor sander. If you are planning on repainting your flooring, I suggest hiring out a &lt;A href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/search/products?q=floor+sander&amp;amp;sort=BoostOrder&amp;amp;page=1" target="_blank"&gt;floor sander&lt;/A&gt; to remove the paint and flatten your floors profile.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;If you have access to the bottom of your flooring area, I suggest putting in builder's plastic to prevent condensation from rising into your timber flooring. This will prevent your flooring panels from cupping even further.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;After you've sanded your floor it's just a matter of choosing a sealer that you prefer. If you wish to see some floor sealing samples, I suggest visiting the paint department of your local store and having a look at the sample board for stain and varnish. Once you've chosen a colour, I propose testing a small area so that you can see what the finish will be like. If you are happy with it, you can then commit to painting the entire floor.&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi &lt;a href="https://www.workshop.bunnings.com.au/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/20333"&gt;@mitch66&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp; I have just painted another bedroom, my house is over 90 years old, the floorboards are all cupped and gapped, I used a 150mm sander with 80 grit sand paper and lightly sanded the existing painted floor then gave the floor a vacuum and a wash with sugar soap, I gave it two coats of paint, looks good, I used low sheen black paint. Haymes exterior premium extra dark tint . I have painted another bedroom with is paint before, so far still looks good, not sure how it would go on high traffic areas&lt;/P&gt;
