We finally got most of the outside work done. Just a little boxing and trim and its ready for paint. The inside has been rough wired and is ready for insulation and paneling. Has any body got any ideas about paint color inside? I was thinking white but with all the windows and the floresent light will it be too bright? I made the mistake of not painting the origional part and now with everything in the way it'll never get done. |

There is no such thing as too bright for a work shop in my opinion!

The shop looks great and I vote for WHITE. It can never be too bright in the shop.

Congratulations!! Very nice shop!
When I build my shop, I followed the recommondations in an article in FWW about shop lighting. The author suggested flat white for the ceiling and walls and light grey for the floor. My shop has a flat white ceiling and satin white walls (easier to clean). The bottom 3.5 ft of the walls are light grey and the floor is light grey. Makes a difference to have a bright environment!! Also make sure that you arrange the lights so you will not cast shadows.
Cheers,
Bernhard | |

Looks great!!
I painted the inside of mine white, then put in 12" wide vertical blue stripes on all the painted walls...takes the eyes off of all the holes in the drywall where I ram wood and machinery into them (small shop, everything is mobile) and adds a bit of color, etc.

Larry,
I painted the inside of my shop an off-white to prevent it from being too harsh on my eyes. However, once I got everything in, combined with a fine layer of dust, I wish I had gone with a brighter white. By the way I have always admired your work. | |

Looks GREAT!!!
I painted my shop a flat white and at first, it seemed extremely bright, but as I have gotten used to it, the brightness is a plus. My only regret is not to have used a satin or semi-gloss for easier cleaning as Bernard suggests. | |

Larry,
Nice looking addition, you sure made fast work of that project. When I painted my interior, I did it in a very light gray with a gray tile floor and bright white ceiling, so far I'm happy with the balance of light it provides using fluorescent fixtures. Jim
