Peter,
About 6 years ago I built my "dream" garage here in Michigan where humidity
and heating are issues. I've had very good luck with 2-part epoxy floor paint
(bulletproof in my experience). Where I really spent time, however, is in
insulating the walls and ceilings, lots of soffit vents, plus I added a Reznor
ceiling mounted gas heater (vented through the roof) and a "attic fan" that
kicks on at high temps in the summer. . The "un-vented" heaters can add
moisture (or at least that is what I was told at the time). I also purchased
a really good dehumidifier and have it at a medium setting year round. Runs
only when it needs to. That combination (great insulation, venting, heater,
fan and dehumidifier) keeps everything very cool in the summer, warm in the
winter and dry all year.
Last May I had our '65 356C Porsche coupe (owned since 1975) media blasted and
have been working on the metal work ever since. The body is blasted bare...
and not a spec of spot rust has appeared.

Bill Waite
