Hello,

The inside of my garage is partially drywalled to meet local fire codes, and the walls and ceiling of this section have the same textured type finish.
My question is, what process is used to texture walls and ceilings? I plan on drywalling the rest of the garage and would like to match the existing finish?

Hi, welcome to the forums.

I'm guessing that your walls have what is known as a knockdown finish on them. You'll need to mud & tape you new walls as you would for a smooth finish, then apply the knockdown.


Here's a link to a previous post dicussing how to apply the knockdown. Post back if you have additional ?'s. Good luck.
