Spot and board the wall and it will only take a day, and a quick skim of board finish and some scrim of the joints and your done.
I had a go at plastering a small ceiling and it looked like a relief map of the moon
dot and dabbing an external wall with plasterboard probably not a good idea
the OP of question was talking about rendering, so I'm assuming it's the outside of the wall, otherwise your dot and dab is a good option for internals, although you can beat good old traditional wet plasteringIs it not the internal walls of the garage then???

It is for 2 internal walls indeed - airbrick. I could board them as you said - I would prob lose 7cm on each side which would reduce what is a tight space already (see picture). Will start w a couple of coats of white paint and see where it gets me. If I don’t like the result I will go to plan B eg rendering.Is it not the internal walls of the garage then???

Will post pictures of the project as I go along.
Point taken on airbrick LoL... my wall is indeed made of concrete blocks.why on earth do you want to render an internal wall instead of plastering, those look like dense concrete blocks to me which trust me will look shite if painted, below is photo of an airbrick, sorry that was bothering me

if applied properly by an experienced plasterer it will last forever and not crack, assuming your walls are dry and not damp, looks like your garage is well built and dryI was afraid the plaster would crack as a result making it look horrible overtime.
I'm in the same boat too - I think I've settled on these non-slip porcelain tiles which seems to be pretty heavy duty, whilst looking good too:
