When I moved into my current location, the guy before me painted the inside of the garage an off white, with a yellowish tint. I did welding inside that garage for 20+ years. Other then blowing off the walls a few times, the paint is still original. I've closed the shop and have moved some things around that have been in the same place for most of those 20 years, except the color in the usually covered area being a slightly lighter shade then the colors in the open to abuse areas, and have much less "dings", most of the paint still looks decent. It was a somewhat more glossy when I first moved in, its a lot less glossy now, even the protected areas have less gloss, but that paint is almost 22 years old now.

Is this where we put the "They just don't make stuff as good as they used to" statement? LOL!

The welding fumes and grinding dust tends to give stuff a yellowish tint, a color with a yellow tint may be more forgiving over time. Gene
