Why not tell us what you have and we can give you a best guess?
Size of the garage, type of construction, what part of the country you live in?

So about an R10? 18,000 BTU should it, 24,000 BTU will for sure.Metal tubular building.

I have a stick framed garage about the same sqft, 2x4 walls and crappy attic insulation with 18,000 BTU in North Dakota and it does just fine. I had a 12,000 BTU window unit that would keep up as long as it was started early in the day.

I think each 2” panel has a R value of 7.85.
Forgot to mention….
The roof and south wall has 2” panel.
16x10 door faces west.
The east wall faces a wooded lot and north side gets no sun. The east and north side has 3/4” foam board along with the radiant barrier.
It’s not 100% airtight, but I’m working on it.
