Default Help Me pick a Mancave Paint Scheme...

All ORANGE top -- or GRAY top with an Orange Mid Stripe...

I am taking some vacation time to do this next week and would like some opinions on what you think would look better. I have a Wagner Paint Crew to shoot it fast (Airless) but I have a lot of Cabinets and storage. Not just a lot of flat Wall Space so throw that into the mix... The last photo is my Garage showing the Cabinets that will be Black for sure - above that??? I don't know yet... And count out diamond plate - that's not gonna happen...

OK I'm not a man but all my roomates have been and I have helped design several mancaves. Are you asking which of the first three we like best or is that what you already have and you just want to change the last one?

I gotta say I like the first pic with the grey, black, and orange stripe. Too much orange isn't a good thing to my eye at least.

Yes... the last one is my Garage that I am going to be painting. My first choice was the first one and that's the colors I picked last night at Lowes... then I saw the all orange top and suddenly had an option pop into my head. Now it looks like I made the right choice as it seems to be unanimously the first scheme.

I will do the bar too... I will have to put that on wheels though. I'm already on Amazon looking at HD bar items~!

Thanks for the help...

Either 1 or 2, I like both. You going to do anything with the floor? Painting the walls and cabinets will be an improvement no doubt, but if your going to keep the floor plain, then it won't look nearly as good IMO.

If you are want to turn your garage into a Bar #1 looks way cool.
Number 2 looks like a useful shop garage that will be a go show place to park a bike.
