I am in the process of insulating my garage walls and then intend on deciding on how to cover the walls. I have decided I would either like to cover them with sheetrock, or with some nice particle board. I would rather sheetrock the walls, because I would like to paint it white in order for it to be very bright and reflective in the garage, not to mention the drywall would be a little bit cheaper per sheet than the particle board (granted it will require a little more work with taping and mudding). However, I am concerned about the walls getting dirty and having to be repainted often. Can anyone recommend anything I could paint the walls with that, after it dried, would cure to a very hard tough finish that would not only be cleaned easy, but also be able to stand up to a lot of punishment? Thanks in advance kevin

I have decided to finish the rest of my garage. That consists of the rear wall and one of the sides. I plan on framing these two walls this weekend but I needed to know if just the studs against the wall are fine or should I place a plastic type material between the studs and the walls? I went out tonight and picked up a gallon of DRYLOC masonry sealer and when I saw that I would need about 4 more gallons to complete the walls I began to decide that this would blow my kind of blow my budget. Can you recommend the type of material I should use? I also need to add I have NO problems with moisture I wanted to do this as a precaution. Thanks everybody
