Definitely don't paint the floor. The guy I bought my shop from used epoxy on the warehouse floor, and several years later it's still coming up. Staining should be OK. And yes, make sure the fumes aren't flammable or you'll need to shut down the furnace and water heater (including water heater pilot) until dry.
I like the outdoor siding. We actually did our family room in the version with the grooves closer together, and put a light stain on it. It gives the impression of individual boards on the wall and looks pretty cool. And it's really tough!
Something I did...I used ceder boards for the corner trim, base and crown molding. Using the same stain, it came out a little darker than the siding and was a nice effect.
Yep, the more I studied on it, paint is out. I'd have to do it myself and would be afraid it wouldn't be done exactly right. I'd drive the car in on a HOT day and I just know it would come right up.
Those wall board are pretty tough and I'm still trying to decide what to do with them. Thanks for the cedar trim idea :thumbsup This is just a garage, but I still want it to look decent.
