I'm insulating the walls in my garage/workshop and just realized that I'll need to paint the drywall when finished. So now the search is on for a color. Everyone I know has a garage painted white.I'm wondering if white is the best color available and what others have done out there.Thanks,Mark

Of coarse you can paint the shop any colour you like, but I think the mainreason you will find most people paint the walls white is to reflex thelight better.You will find that white walls will brighten up the place better.Another point to think about is that the colour of the walls also affect thelook of the finish that you may be applying on a project in your shop.Glenn

For most people, the purpose of a garage and basement are different. White, while "boring", is practical in a garage. Especially of seeing what you're working on is a consideration.

Do a google search on "wallpaper mural" -- there's *lots* of on-line catalogues with pictures, to browse through.

There's a great "double wide" (circa 25') of one of the features of the Grand Canyon, but d*mn if I know where I'd put it. :)
