Garage work

I just spent the entire day painting my new garage with primer, and scrubbing its floor. I can't understand people who sheetrock their garage then don't paint.

Tomorrow I paint the floor.

I don't have a garage here.:(Yup. Concrete floors. Now with 3 coats of paint. Looks really good, if I do say so myself.

What colour ?

When I painted my husbands garage walls white..............I painted a black band from floor level up about 18" / 2' , this stopped the white getting splashed with water, oil etc. The black bit still looks good now ....

I was thinking about doing a mural in mine, (can you send me some acc pics) or some kind of stencil work. I dont know about painting the floor though. Id really have to stress out about that before I did it.

My painting talent is limited to putting most of it on the wall rather than dripping on the floor, and not getting too much on the ceilng. :-3

But my wall is a blank canvas for you, if you wanna drop by. :-6
