No PVA at all - avoid that at all costs. All you need is a slightly diluted first coat of matt emulsion (15-20% water) and then a further coat or two of neat emulsion, in your chosen finish - I have acrylic eggshell and would recommend that for a garage. If you want to use anything else to seal the plasterboard instead of a diluted emulsion, get a pot of drywall sealer or Zinsser Gardz, although neither are necessary. DO NOT USE PVA, as it is unsuitable for use with water based paints.
