color of garage wall?
Subscribemy new house is just about to be completed. it's been a lot of work since we were given the opportunity to choose various options.
today, i was asked for the color choice for the garage. i honestly have absolutely no idea. i am so used to white that i wasn't sure anything else is acceptable!
anyway, i am thinking of red at this point. any input? i have to let him know tomorrow!
thanks.

I am currently building a house and this is the color I went with for the garage. The bottom portion has been painted a darker gray since this picture was taken and looks even better.


If you want a race feel to the garage then bottom 2/5 in red, a 20cm checkered (sp?) stripe and then the rest in white! So the same scheme as tsmithmdtx but with different colors. Looks great IMO!

Seems to me they could have found a better place for that electrical box. Who was the Mensa candidate that chose that location?Originally Posted by tsmithmdtx

My thoughts exactly. When I first saw that I was like wtf. It was explained to me that it has something to do with city code compliance. Sounded like BS to me until I drove around a saw everyone elses electrical boxes in the same/similar locations. At least the garage is in the back and not visible to anyone else.Originally Posted by 2thfixr

Going to paint it to match the trim.
