What would be the best way to restore the sill? Oil or paint with weather suitable product.
Hello @vas90
I propose oiling it instead of using paint. Paint when used on the floor often tends to chip and scratches on its surface is very noticeable. Whereas using oil will give your door sill the resilience of a deck. It will be hard wearing, and dust and dirt will not be easily seen. I propose visiting your local store and having a look at the oil finish display board in the paint department. It will give you a much better idea of what the finish will look like.
Let me call on our experienced members @Dave-1 and @Nailbag for their recommendations.
If you need further assistance, please let me know.

Good Evening @vas90
I would go oil for sure I just think it has an overall better "feel" to it.
I would remove the rest of the varnish thats there first and then oil.
Id just use paint stripper and a scraper, if it is resistant to that then a wire brush attachment for a drill.
It will come up sleek and modern.
