Painting Garage Walls
Just like with any other painting you are most likely going to have to start with planning. With a garage it is a good idea to decide on a color which is more contemporary, and can handle a bit of dirt and does not turn grey because of the fumes from the car. You are not going to run it when the doors are closed, but there is always some tar and fumes that don’t get out before they hit the walls, and that makes them slowly turn grey. So when you are starting out, make sure that you carefully sand the walls, and wash them thoroughly to avoid any spots where the paint is not going to attach well.
For me the grey color is the easiest, since it fits in the color of my garage floor tiles and is easy to maintain – it won’t turn grey since it is already that color. When you are painting you should possibly use a paint that is designed for rough conditions. Also make sure that you cover the floor with newspapers to avoid any spilling on the new tiles… When you need to use a primer then you need to use it. don’t go cheap here since this is the one room in the house which is used the most, and maintained the least.
Apply at least two coats, preferrably five and let the previous one dry out well before you add the second one. Just do a steady job and you are going to be fine.
