Looking for a good paint

[mark_k]

Hello, I am looking for a good high gloss white paint for the garage. Something that will reflect light well. Who makes the best for a garage. Thanks.

Well it would be an interior paint for starters. I have had good luck with Sherwin Williams and Behr products. And yes I love the white for the light reflections.

I used Sherwin Williams gloss EXTERIOR because of humidity, rain (if I forget to close the door), hosing down the floor when cleaning, etc....
Good luck

I like Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore paints. If you can use it, an oil based paint is very durable. I use oil based paints for my interior trim work on my rental properties. It takes a beating and looks good for years. Today's latex paints are also durable and are also easier to those clean brushes and drips.

Do you actually want a gloss white paint on interior walls? Gloss paint will show every dent, mis-alignment and scuff mark on the wall. It doesn't look very good for long. Many people find the reflection of images on the wall to be annoying. Consider an egg shell, satin or semi-gloss sheen instead of high gloss. It is the color or hue of the paint that determines the amount of light reflected not the sheen of the color. The sheen determine the amount visual images are reflected in the finish.

From Masters Painting Institute website:
Gloss and light reflectance are unrelated surface characteristics of a finish. Gloss is the degree to which the finish reflects visual images. Light reflectance is the amount of light the surface reflects. Neither characteristic is related to hue, so it is possible to have a finish with low gloss and low light reflectance.
For example: black reflects no light yet, when black is used in a glossy enamel, it reflects clear visual images. On the other hand, when a flat, white paint is applied to a wall, it reflects much light but no images
