You Don't Have to Spend a lot to Paint Your Garage

December 25, 2024

Yes, you can purchase paint for any project to enhance or upgrade at a very reasonable price. Painting any room will bring out the beauty you expect. By following these steps, you don't have to spend a lot of money painting your garage. Knowing how to do it properly is an art; nonetheless, many people dislike painting. Before you start a painting project in your home or someone else's, you need to do a lot of prep work.

Preparation is always the most critical component in ensuring that your work is faultless and well done. When painting this garage, we purchased 6 gallons of paint for $225.00 plus manpower, which varies depending on the project. Everything hinges on the necessary tasks and the duration required for painting preparation.

The primer I used

The installed drywall wasn't the best I've ever seen or worked with. That's an entirely different story. The first step was to prime the entire garage, which is one of the most crucial procedures in achieving the best possible finish with your paint work. 

How it looked after applying primer 

The project took some planning because the ceiling would have a two-tone finish, with a flat black in the middle and a dark grey at either end. We completed the project in three days; I don't like to apply a second coat until it is completely dry, so I apply one coat daily, which yields the best results.

Please allow the primer sufficient time to cure into the drywall. I also prefer to use 150-grit sandpaper to lightly sand and polish the walls and ceilings. I do these tasks before each application to ensure an even, smooth finish.
