Great Friends, Gorgeous Garage: Step 5
Only two coats of paint left to make the garage really stand out. Which paint to use for concrete? SuperPaint® to the rescue! This stuff is made to handle both cold, frosty winters and hot, humid summers. Since this garage is going to see all that and more, it was definitely a perfect choice.

Great Friends, Gorgeous Garage: Step 4
Have you ever painted concrete? Well, if you’re worried about paint sticking, don’t be! Cole and friends used Loxon Masonry & Concrete Primer, which was recommended at their local Sherwin-Williams store. It’s great for sealing the porous blocks this garage is made of.

Great Friends, Gorgeous Garage: Step 3
Just like any other paint project, the garage needed a bit more prep time before the paint could start rolling. Since Cole had a great little deck next to his garage, the guys added some tape around the edges as well as the edges of all the doors and windows. They used a putty knife to help tuck into corners and make sure nothing got under the edges.
Have we mentioned how much we love the putty knife? This little guy can help scrape paint, seal edges of tape, get under an old finish and even spread putty if you need.

How do you get a grungy garage exterior ready for prime time? A pressure washer! If you don’t have one, try borrowing from a friend, or you can probably find one to rent in your neighborhood. Trust us, it’s a lot easier than trying to scrub it by hand…

Great Friends, Gorgeous Garage: Step 1
With a blue front porch and blue accents around the exterior of their house, Cole and his wife were leaning toward a dark blue for the garage, but they were a little nervous to go so bold on such a large project.
Those nerves were squashed pretty quickly, though, once they got out our ColorSnap Studio app! With just a photo of the garage and a couple taps on the screen, they got a great idea of how the garage would look with a Sea Worthy (SW 7620) surface, and they were fully confident once they compared it to a color card from the store.

When you’re young and just starting out on your own, your biggest ask of your friends is to help you move to a new apartment. Once you’re a little older and have your own house, the ask gets a little bigger—like helping you paint your garage! That’s what Cole did. With nothing but the promise of sunshine, snacks, soda (we’ll call it “soda”) and some company, he got the gang together for a few days of painting.
