My wife and I closed on our new home yesterday. I am thinking some garage paint and flooring work will be done this coming easter weekend. My dilemma is that the garage has 16' ceilings. This is a good thing I know; it leads to plans of Jackmaster garage door openers and two post lifts but the problem is painting the walls! Its finished all the way up with a finished ceiling.
Right now the walls are a beat up white, they are painted but they are pretty beat up and need a fresh coat of color for sure.
What is everyone's thought on creating a 10' high beltline with some trim and only paint up to that. I have a ladder that would allow me to paint at 10' but I dont want to get into scaffolding and trying to trim out a 16' ceiling line. Do you think that this beltline idea would look tacky? I think it might be kind of cool. I will probably have garage gator type storage in the upper 4-6 feet anyway with lighting above that so it may be not such a big deal. It might be a good way to bring the visual roof line down and distract the eye from the goods stored up above.
Any input would be great!
