I rocked my garage (evolved from an open underhouse carport), both walls and ceiling. Painted white. Only way to get a handle on dust.
LOTS OF LIGHT...you may not need it now but you will. I have 4 8' daylight fluorescent tubes in each bay.
After switching dryer and water heater to gas I had lots of space in the main panel, so I installed a sub-panel and surfaced mounted conduit. I have 4 circuits, one 220 and three 110. Each outlet box (there are 5) is a fourplex with two of the circuits. They are spread out over two walls. I have enough room in the sub-panel to switch a 110 over to 220 if I needed it, but it takes two big 220 machines to overload a 20amp 220 line.
The lights and "utility" outlets have their own circuit back to the main box, but this is only because of the sequence of events.
So, sub-panel is a must, lots of outlets and lots of light.
