Spray painted Exposed Basement Ceilings?

12 years ago

Does anyone have pictures of their spray painted exposed basement ceilings? Plan D for our basement has this type of ceiling (plans A-C too expensive).We are going the bronzey brown route. We are also going to be painting partially concrete walls and putting down some sort of flooring, either carpet with no pad or VCT tiles. I was just hoping someone else had done something similar so we could envision it better.

Hi:

We were in the same boat about a month ago. We have a low basement which did not allow for drywalling. We actually had the walls finished & then, after looking on various forums decided to spray paint the ceiling flat dark brown. Would have gone in a lighter shade, but we had so many wires & uneven ducts, etc. thought it would blend better in a darker colour. Wish I had before pictures, because the improvement is astounding with the finished walls & ceramic. May not look so, but we are very happy with the result & would 100% suggest going for the painted bare ceiling.
