    As Stephen asked, "Is there any building code restriction on what he puts on the garage walls?"

    Don't ever recall hearing of any code issues like that. Only thing you will want to make sure is that your vapour barrier is properly sealed and installed.

    Personally I thing vinyl siding would look funny.
    Check out lowes or Home Depot. They both have lots of siding panels options available. That look like brick or like wood. But come in a 4x8 sheet for easy install.

    I am thinking about verticla siding. Something like this:



    The siding would be installed on the existing drywall.

    Our wash bay at work is vinyl siding

    I think vertical would look pretty good

    although what laffs posted if cost wasn't a concern would be the best

    As long as you keep the fire separation drywall in place, shouldn't be any code issues with the siding.

    The drywall is likely fire separation by code. Could install the plywood on top of the drywall with no issues.

    It's a car park only, not a working garage. As far as holes in the fire separation, there is a water tap, electrical outlet, and central vac. tube, all done by the builder, and on every house in the neighborhood.

    Wonder what the price difference would be paying a handy man to come hang a few sheets of drywall for you instead of the siding.

    Perfect place to get better at it. More practice makes it easier. And not over thinking/working it. You can always sand away mistakes, rather than trying to make it better while it dries (if that makes sense).
