| Inside the garage, personally I would use semi-gloss. That way if you need to wipe it down, you can do so more easily. |

| flat will hide theimperfections more, BUT it will hold stains/show dirt more. eggshell will hide imperfections and still wipe clean fairly easily. gloss/semi gloss will show every imperfection but wipe clean easily. personally, i would get a cna of the CHEAPEST paint they have and use it. Wally world often has interior paint for 5-7.00 a gallon if you get the premixed colors. custom colors run more. |

| I was thinking of holding out for a gallon or two of mismatches at HD...if I can get 2 the same in a light color. |

| even if they ain't the same, jus tmix them and create an even color! long as both are the light it should be okay. you may end up with a semigloss eggshell or somethign, but it is just a garage! |

| I was reading an older forum and the consensus appears to be to use exterior paint with primer on an unheated garage. good luck |

| I went to a local paint store and picked up a five gallon bucket of semigloss latex that was returned by a customer...the tint was close enough for me and the price was much cheaper because they wanted to get it off their hands. Looks good in the garage. Casey "http://www.driverdb.com/Sean McDonagh" |
