Finishing My Basement (Part 5) Painting The Ceiling Black Using Zinsser Dryfall Paint.

What’s up everybody. In todays video, I will be painting my basement ceiling with Zinsser Black Dryfall Paint. I chose this paint as I am working on finishing my basement, and I wanted to create a blacked out industrial looking ceiling. This is a great option that is low-cost, easy to apply, and looks great.

Planning on doing the same with our basement. Really useful video 👍

Looks great! Your video was easy to understand, concise and digestible. Thanks for breaking down the phases. I didn’t notice any plumbing in the future kitchen space, when is plumbing added?

You said the ceiling height is 9ft high, dryfall is rated for 15ft ceilings. Might be why it’s staining the floor. Looks great though!

I’m debating on doing this aswell. Only thing is since there is only paint, there will b no Safe’N’Sound Insulation and thus, lots of noise from upstairs.

I think painting over foam insulated water pipes would be a problem. No I do not want to take the foam insulation off.

Does it make the basement “feel” smaller? My basement isn’t that big so that’s what I’m concerned about. But the finished product looks super badass!

So I'm gonna paint my dark panel walls WHITE first....then the unfinished ceiling BLACK....but gloss black or whatever will look better than the Matte black most people are going with...and then I will finish up with painting the concrete floor a dark gray. This way I don't need the Dryfall type of paint because it won't

Question pls- How strong was the smell from this paint application - did it take days for the smell to die down ?- did the smell gravitated through your home ? BTW- Really Nice Looking! - I have low ceiling height and this might be a good solution for me.

My paint sprayer got clogged almost immediately with this paint do you have a specific mesh gun filter? I have the same tip right now in my Graco

Ceiling looks great! I am planning to spray my basement ceiling soon. The house is about 70 years old and ceiling wood is pretty worn. Would you recommend sanding before or would the black paint disguise the imperfections of the wood?

[kylegriffin]

Looks good! Just curious why you didnt do the ceiling first and then drywall the walls after?

[Mojean]

Timing on this video is perfect for me. I’m considering this vs drywall ceiling. Do you have any concerns with painting over your utilities etc?

[edlist]

Why did you shield the walls since they are not finished yet and you were going to have to paint them anyways? Just curious since I am going to do the same thing, nice video!

[FaithDean-bu]

Just watched this (as well as other similar), how do you like it ten months later? Any regrets? How does it look when the room is completed? I’m a little worried about the basement being too dark.

[benwechter]

Looks great! I'm doing this in my basement too. How did you deal with uneven drywall at the top of the walls? Like how did you clean up the transition from wall to ceiling?

[xlaw]

Beautiful paint work, man. That looks awesome! Do you have any concerns about not having insulation in the basement ceiling? I live in the Northeast and even though we have severe weather swings, my home is generally very cool in the summer and winter. I'm planning to do this industrial look in my basement but I'm concerned about the lack of insulation...any thoughts?

[zacharythomas]

Roughly how many sq ft is your basement?? I’m doing mine soon and looking into how many buckets of paint I’ll need

[paulmaul]

Looks great! Did you end up doing any rattle can touch ups or adding a second layer? About to do this myself

[Tim_Gravy]

Hey, what you think about using a tip extension vers having to use a step up/ladder for painting? Prob easiee to get hard to reach spots too?

[brentcornman]

I just used behr pro drywall paint to do my basement ceiling (literally 2 hours ago). I just checked on it and I have dripping on parts of ductwork and it looks kind of bad from what I can tell. Did you have to repaint that whole pex line? If so, how’d you prevent it from dripping a second time?
