But at the same time, the garage is my favorite room in the house haha

That’s what I’ve been seeing done in videos. I might give it a try on a test area where the cabinets will go and see if I can get the hang of it. I’ve always wanted to learn how to skim a wall since I have it on my to-do to refinish my entry way with a joint compound faux Venetian plaster...

@J-Man22, Thank you for the advice and resources on the lift. I’ve done a fair bit of measuring but haven’t gone through building test pieces to confirm. I think I’ll do that this weekend. Luckily, I already have a side mounted opener and high lift track. Also, such an amazing point about the...

I think roller or gun application? Looks like this:

I hear you, My thought behind going a more semi-matte (eggshell) finish was to hide the orange peel, but if I can smooth out the wall then I'd certainly want to go satin for the reasons you described.

Quick update/question: So, my garage walls match the interior of my home with that standard flat (eggshell?) white and orange peel texture. As mentioned earlier, I'm planning to go with an eggshell chalkboard black on the walls and ceiling but would like to do away with the orange peel and get...

Thanks again for the replies. I've decided to go with a chalk board matte black rather than a jet gloss black. The lights came in and they are insanely bright, bordering on too bright, so I'm not worried about lighting at this point. Happy to hear that knocking down the wall to replace with a...

Thanks for the replies and good point. I'll start exploring some alternative colors. I was hoping to avoid white to lessen the visibility of scuffs and stains, but maybe black is too extreme. @Mike65, I'm going with The Liftsuperstore's Quatro Stacker Wide Track (8klbs). It's the only solution...

Hi all, after lurking for some time, I feel I'm finally ready to begin a major (to me) remodel of my garage. Right now, I have a pretty standard issue 17.5ft x 19.5ft x 10ft (L/W/H) concrete floor, drywall finished garage. My plan is to paint the walls and ceiling black (or near it), tile the...

I took a quick pass at Direct Lift; maybe I need to do another. Motivational to know you got the CRV in there. I think its height difference from the AMG offsets the additional height from your garage to mine. Did you end up bolting your lift to the garage floor? The developers for my property...

I'm in Los Angeles and the garage I'm stored at sees cars that far outpace the GTR in worth (honestly, likely too premier of a storage situation for that car). But the (personally) bigger issue is that it ***** owning the car and only seeing it if I make the trip to check up on it. I originally...

That's what I was afraid of... The lift is primarily for storage. I only use the AMG for tracking and currently rent space in a parking garage to store it (with 2 years of storage costs being the same as the price of a lift). Because I store the AMG in public space, I need to keep the car...

Hi all, I've searched myself into paralysis trying to find answers regarding 4 post lift solutions for wide cars and figured it might be time to just ask the question myself. I have an amg gtr that's has an outside tire to outside tire width of ~80 inches (and a garage with only 9' clearance)...
