Looks like your floor could use a bit of TLC, some of the failures / cracks seem to go to the laminate. I just did mine with gelcoat. Scraped sanded loose stuff off, then used a spreader to apply a layer of gelcoat (the one with wax mixed in, so it can cure in air). To make extra sure it cures, spray with PBA when it's just starting to set.
I used white gelcoat, but added a few drops of a tinting agent (the universal kind, that can be used with oil paints, because I didn't have the special ones for gel coat). That gave a nice gray. If done correctly, will hold up to abuse better than paint, and you apply it in a thicker film.
I used Hi Bond with wax; you'll need a quart do to the cockpit floor on a DS1.
