If you have the coin I'd finish the interior with lightest gauge steel sheet roofing painted white. That would make it bright, clean and fireproof.

Now's the time before you get all your junk in there.

That's a good idea. I've been pondering if I could paint the p/board but that is a possibility too...

Titanium is lighter and just as fireproof as steel.

If the chipboard is not waxed you can paint it, but it's a big job, 3 coats minimum and it still looks like crap. Experience, my 2 car garage is done that way, I wouldn't do it again. Plus side is it's cheaper.

My shop is done in above ground pool steel siding, totally maintenance free and I don't worry about welding in the shop. I got it super cheap (2nd's), but it was floppy, a PITA to install and grey colour (wish it was white).

If I was to do it over I'd go with the roofing, so clean and easy to install. You'd have to put a seam in the ceiling, but you can get 20 footers for the walls.

For those who aren't familiar with it, that was a demeaning look! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Actually, titanium fires are class D fires, like magnesium fires.
