Hi all, not very ofetn I visit this part of the forum.
I'm just in the process of having our garage rebuilt right from foundations upwards so will need to paint all the internals, outside will be coloured cladding.
Walls and ceiling will be osb board, flooring will be concrete, garage will be used as a general house workshop but also as an upholstery workshop.
I've previously painted plaster walls with the need to diilute for mist coat, would it be the same for osb board?
What products are good to use bearing in mind after building the budget is getting used up, time I have, money less so.
For the floor I was going to use a two pack epoxy paint, how long sould I leave the concrete before painting and should I use some sort of primer?
Any other tips or suggestions will be great.
