Painting my new garage. What colors work best for a garage when it comes to detailing?
I bought a new home with the wife 2 months ago. Now I am getting around to getting the garage finished to turn into my dream detailing/wrenching garage. haha
Size of garage is 20x20.
I was doing some quick reading, and I saw a recommendation of using more matte paint for a garage, to help with reflection when doing any paint correction. I even saw suggestions of going full matte black in the whole garage.
Dunno if the wife would like that haha. Any suggestions or clarification from the pros on here?
Or heck--any tips in general?
My only concern is where the dry wall meets the concrete sides of the garage. I am assuming I'll have to use a good waterproof paint you'd use in the bathroom.
Anyway--let me know your thoughts, gang!
Cheers!

I am currently "finishing" my garage also (drywall tape seams were horrible so I am doing a lot of mudding to make them somewhat disappear....). I am going with flat white Behr Scuff Defense paint. The white helps brighten the space and, so far, the scuff defense is holding true to its name. I hung two custom built shelves on the one wall I have painted so far, and not a single mark on the wall from hanging, shifting, etc. the shelves. I would be sure to get a good drywall primer as well before painting.

A lot of stuff on the walls. Where's the flat screen going. Around where I'm at, that's a must have.
I agree with you on 'paint it white'.
