We have a 50m x 10m garage. It had been extended and has two different linings under the tiles. One is a woven plastic (grey) and the other is more cloth like (whitish).

Is it ok to paint them or do they need need to be able to breathe?

If so, what's the quickest way to do it? Not too worried about finish. There is lots of wooden structure and it's an apex shape and I'm just going to do everything one colour so anything involving lots of up and down steps would quickly get tedious. Airless sprayer and extension?

Thanks

Do not paint any of that.
All that will happen is mould and condensation.

Ok. Thanks.

What can I do to get it all one colour? Insulated boards would be expensive and need lots of cutting. It's a big area.

Use this picture as inspiration.
You probably dont need the chandaliers though unless it fits your asthetic.

Sorry, miss remembered in moment of stupidity. 50m2 of floor space (actually slightly more but I use 50m2 for quick calculations). Its a triple.

Board the ceiling and then paint it, pretty straight forward to do yourself.

Doesn’t have to be insulated boards if it’s a garage, though you could cut a hatch and insulate later on if you wish.
