how about some ideas for painting my garage

Any and all ideas welcome. The back wall is 6'x18' and side walls 9'tall x about 8 foot.

I was thinking about painting the tail end of a car or two on the back wall. I'm not that good with a brush but I've got some beer and free time :lol: I park the Acura in the third car which I'll probably do in the spring. Maybe try and copy this on the back wall

My wife will not let me do a rainbow so thats out :lol:
OR should I just leave it white??
maybe I'll paint some crop circles on the back wall or maybe do it all in mirrors. I was thinking about doing the checker board but I think that would be to much black. Maybe just a checkered flag?? Lets hear your ideas

I would leave it as is. It looks better than 98% of garages already.

Our garage is painted the same color as the inside of the house (Sienna Sand). It also has basemolding.... so when I paint the floor next year, it should look hot We had no idea the builder painted and put molding in the garage, so it was a nice surprise and saved us some time and money.

I would paint a medieval battle scene with dragons and fire and people being doused in boiling oil.

wow I thought this topic would bring lots of repiles. Thanks to those that did. I think the battle scene would be cool and take me a couple of years to paint also. LOL

Invite the neighborhood kids in and have them paint a mural on it.

What about Woodstock look, hippie smoking (take your pick), drinking, etc....

Or better yet, Formula racing.

That's actually a nice looking garage. Our garage wasn't even finished on the inside. It had exposed studs and beams. I covered the walls with pegboard (yeah but looks better).
