Pimp my Garage! Or show me yours!

[99BoxsterATL]

So I have this idea. I'm taking off for the holidays but I can't just sit on my keester so I want to paint my garage walls and add some framed art to it too. I was thinking of a checkered flag theme down the first 3.5 feet of the drywall wrapped around the garage and then paint the upper portion a light grey with framed pictures in the grey area. Much like as if it were seperated by chairrail. I want to post my garage pictures to see who has some awesome talent out there with photoshop because I don't. I'd like to see what it may look like with my idea, or what any other cool ideas you would come up with and if I like it, I would do it! I also encourage others to post their garage pictures! I just want to do paint, the cabinets and expensive shelves aren't in the budget right now. I already have epoxy coated the floor a semi gloss grey which I love. Can't wait to see the replies!

You know that almost sounds like a challange to djomlas !

He does post some impresive stuff he has done with PS.

Personally, I'd rather catch a beating than paint. I just painted stripes in one of our guest bathrooms and kept praying that I'd fall from the ladder and kill myself. I can't imagine what it'll take to paint a checkered flag. Have you considered painting the bottom in a contrasting color, separated by a checkered flag border? There are several pre-pasted variations available on the web.

I could see already that this thread will show the "creative side" of every man in this forum
Ideas:
Looking at your garage, the epoxy paint on the floor looks really good but not really sure about putting a lot of checkered flag paint on it, probably just a stripe right in the center and paint top and bottom that kinda blend into each other...top has lighter color and bottom will be a little darker so in case it got dirty, it won't be really noticeable...and don't put too many picture frame on it!

or, get one of your favorite poster or painting and use that as a guideline for your paint but not too much coz' you want that painting to be the central focus of the garage...

Let's start with a 52 inch plasma HDTV to cover up the ugly breaker box and add a suround sound system. You can watch movies in you car with the top down. Then add a popcorn machine and a beer cooler and forget the paint.

How 'bout you do what bnorman says except you get an old drive-in speaker and paint other cars on the walls with fogged up windows.
