Wood paneling in an attached garage is not a good idea. Not fire-proof/resistant. If a car or piece of equipment catches fire, poof...there goes the entire home. At least with drywall, there is some fire resistancy, which will allow time to extinguish or evacuate. Codes requires 5/8" drywall in attached garages in most locales.

I'd still paint it just to "stick it to the man".
If I failed to burn down my parent's bare stud garage as a kid, I personally would not be too concerned about painting an existing paneled garage. But that is just me...we already know I like to live "on the edge"
