Opinion on paint scheme?

[75Shark]

I am getting ready to start painting my shop, and would like some opinions from the pro's here. The shop is 32x48 with 12' ceiling. The ceiling is white metal, and the walls are all drywall. I really want it to stand out, and have played with different color options and have narrowed it down to this. What do you think? The top will be light grey, the bottom is dark grey. The white and orange stripes resemble the anniversary camaros, and the orange matches my corvette. The white and orange would be separated by a silver stripe, and the work bench will be painted to match my gladiator cabinets.

I would appreciate your opinions

Looks nice. Color choices seem to go well together. Not sure if the silver stripes between are even needed. Paint the colors first and enjoy it for a while to see if you want to add them. Although they can help cover irregular seams...

Good Luck

That's a good idea. BTW...I did my own drywall finishing so all my seams are "irregular".

amen.... I am STILL working on my drywall. I am afraid the seams will be UGLY when I paint

Well, I finally got around to putting some color on the walls. I changed the design a little, but so far I think I like it. My drywall work isn't the best, but it will do. Sorry for the low quality cell phone pic, it's all I had available.

Now I need to get everything organized again.

Those are some tall walls to finish yourself, looks good.

Looks great. You did a good job on the drywall.

Are you happy with the 12' walls or do you think you should have gone another 1' or 2' taller? Thanks.

I am happy with the 12' because it gives me enough room to lift a car to full height. I'm not real please with it in the corner with the loft because it leaves only 55" of headroom. Its a storage loft so it not a big deal, but it would have been nice to be able to stand up when on top.

Thanks for the compliments, the pictures must hide my seams well.

It looks good to me. Have you considered running the orange stripes around the legs on the lift?

Not sure what I am going to do with the lift. When I finally get around to doing the floor, I will pull the lift out, clean it and paint it. Haven't picked colors for that yet.
