thanks. we ended up buying a small one that is working just fine

Can you post a pic? We are considering doing this same thing, but my husband is on the fence. It seems like it will take awhile to paint. What color are you using? What paint?

black paint. I bought a wagner ready paint sprayer. started with 1 gallon of behr paint and primer in 1. still have more to do.

That looks great so far!! Our basement is 950 sq ft, so I'm just wondering how long it would take. How is it going so far?

we are looking at finishing about 650 to 700 sq ft. 1 gallon made it about a third of the way. haven't had time to do more yet. still taking down insulation

What are your plans for the walls? We are considering a "semi-finished" look. I'm trying to get a better idea of our options. Thanks!

we will be framing walls with 2x4 and cover with drywall

Hi! I realize this is 3 year old thread, but can you post picture of your finished basement (walls, etc). We have a large basement, approx. 2000 sf and seriously considering painting the 'unfinished' ceiling like you did. We might go white on main area joists, flat black on ductwork, and case the plumbing in wood. How do you like the space? Anything you recommend or do differently? We are probably going to purchase a medium to large size industrial sprayer. Thanks!

PS. @mark_rachel ... Did you end up doing this as well? If so, would you mind posting a photo? Thanks!
