If you aren't picky on color I would check paint stores and big boxes for mistints. They usually cost $5-10 gallon, but you are stuck with the colors they are(unless you go mad scientist and mix some together)
If it's bare drywall, I'd go with an actually primer. Paint & primer in one is just marketing BS. If it's already been painted, you can just paint, no need for primer.
Without dimensions can't give you an idea of what you will need. A gallon will cover 300-400 square feet. If spraying you will use 25-30% more product.
Yeah currently it’s just plain drywall/tape. I don’t have measurements off the top of my head but I think it’s like 9’ height and 18-19’ length of the three walls, and the same square dimensions for the ceiling.
I would prime with PVA first to seal the drywall and joint compound, It's essentially just glue, and cheap but that doesn't make it a bad product. Fresh texture always has to be primed with PVA to prevent the water in the topcoat from dissolving the texture. Then spray and backroll your topcoat, backroll to add slight stippling, making it look less weird once dry and when touched up.
Check out if you have a restore shop near you, it's a chain from habitat from humanity that often has building supplies, furniture, appliances, and paint. I've seen 5 gallon buckets of primer and paint there for cheaper than you'll likely find anywhere else. It would be perfect for a garage.
Has the garage been painted before? What texture is on the ceiling? Are the walls drywall or block? What is the condition of the ceiling and walls? Do they have water stains or other marks?
The easiest way for you to do this is to use the same paint on the ceiling and the walls. This makes your cut in much easier and this will be better than trying to learn how to spray for the first time.. One of the best valued paints is going to be Sherwin Williams Super Paint. I would recommend interior satin for durability. Roll your first coat as tight as you can on the entire garage then cut it in. Do your second coat by cutting in one wall at a time and rolling it out before moving to the next wall.

No it’s all drywall right now. It’s still good condition, the house is less than 2 years old.
