Personally I would love to have the spray foam insulation. Then you can sheet rock you walls when you get a chance to finish it up.
Try Reflectix, it should help.

We insulated ours with batt insulation and then covered it with plastic. We eventually finished the whole interior with tin. Our electric is run in conduit on the surface of the tin and not inside the walls so we didn't have to worry about covering up any electrical wiring. In northern MN the temp inside the garage hovers between 0 and 20 degrees in the winter depending on the temp outside. Insulating made a HUGE difference here!
You need to insulate it first before you sheetrock or do anything.
I would glue 2" foam insulation board to the metal. Then cover with plywood.
