Remember, prep is the most inportant part. If you are going over fresh
sheetrock, be sure to use a good primer like Kilz. In the garage, it might
not hurt to to it that way regardless. Scuff the walls with a 200 grit
sandpaper, being sure to get in the edges good and tight and just lightly
hit the walls to give the paint and primer a good surface to adhere to.

This isn't necessary. Especially the sanding - "scuffing" drywall isn't a
good idea. And Kilz isn't necessary either. There really isn't much good
reason not to simply put on 2 coats of whatever finish paint you want,
assuming it's of good quality with a decent amount of solids in it.
