Garage gets painted tomorrow, color?
Any reason I might pick a color other than white? Seems the logical choice if for nothing other than the brightness/reflectivity. I have to call the painter tonight with the color and thought I'd post this in case I was missing something obvious.
I considered black so as to match my soul but the wife vetoed

I vote white. If you ever buy the Audi back, you will appreciate all the light while working on it.

I would go light grey, White would get dirty fairly quickly.

I like my bright white garage. Lotsa bright lights, along with the white ceiling and walls makes it easy to find nuts, bolts, and tools under the car.

Off white for sure. The touch of gray sounds good, but an off white over a gray 3 foot "wainscot" would be super, IMO.

When mine was done I did a sample, white, gray and red. What it comes down to is how many coats of clear they put down. I have four and even with a dark red its bright with the lights on.
