This week I paint the basement ceiling black! It was quite the process. I discuss what went right and what went wrong. Overall it was a successful DIY project and easier than I expected. But, it takes a lot of prep work so be prepared!
Thank you for watching and hopefully you found the video helpful!

We just bought a house and it has a completely unfinished basement... this video was so helpful because this is part of the final look that we want, so thank you and great job!
I love how the dog is looking at you like ''who tf you talking to dude, its only me here''
Haha! I meant to put in some dialogue during the edit but ran out of time. It's funny you noticed too!
@@GoldenKeyDesign nice job, earned a subscriber 👍
i can agree that the ceiling tiles look corporate, but man..when you have kids and you want to be able to make some noise in the basement, it's nice to have a simple "removable" ceiling to block the noise. I think some manufacturers have gone a good ways in making drop ceilings look better. I love the industrial look but upstairs will hear everything.
don't have kids..... problem solved.
This is PERFECT. This is EXACTLY what I was looking for.
Thank you.
I’m surprised you were able to successfully coat that entire space with one 5-gallon container of paint…
I’m glad you found it helpful! I was surprised too. The paint itself is quite expensive but has very good coverage
@@GoldenKeyDesign Exactly what I was looking for to.
@GoldenKeyDesign where did you buy your brackets for the pot lights
@@julieleduc220 I just did a similar project and the brackets on Home Depot are called "HALO 6" MOUNTING FRAME-6PK" for ~$30. Super easy install.
tip, make sure your ac or heat does not kick on during process as it could suck some of the failing paint into the duct work and push is out in the out into the rest of the house.. lol. This happened to me about 20 years ago but the paint I was using did not dry before it hit to floor.. it messed some of the carpet up by the registers upstairs.
Great tip! I should have mentioned that in the video. Hopefully it didn't mess up too much of the carpet
Of all the videos about this I watched, this was the best. I used a Graco X7, the hand masker and Sherwinn Williams dryfall paint and it came out amazing.
U ROCKED IT!!! Definitely VERY detailed and insightful...You gave me the courage to do my basement....THANK YOU!!! Much luv
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the kind the words and am glad I inspired you! Good luck with your build!
Love the look of the black ceiling. Hides everything nicely including the cables.
Agreed! Everything just disappears
If you try another similar paint project, I would recommend an extension wand for your sprayer. It will make the whole process faster and easier. I'm glad your tried this though and wondered what it would look like if I did the same. For the industrial look I think you did a great job.
I actually bought an extension but decided not to use it as the ceiling was low enough. It was also easier to get into the nooks and crannies without the extension attached
Awesome, would you be able to tell me how the lights are mounted between the joists? Appears to be can light housings but fitted with newer integrated LED fixtures?
Exactly what I need to do in my basement to make it chill game room and the black will look cool since I don’t really wanna paint the walls just now
I love this design. For my house, we redid the roof with outside insulation. I then ripped drywall ceilings and redid mechanicals. Also, extended walls to roof line and finally corrugated metal under roof deck between trusses. I painted the exposed ceiling - formerly attic - black and it looks open, industrial like your basement.
I put corrugated metal in my rafters to get that metal deck look like you see at some commercial buildings.
Thank you! That sounds like a really nice design. I like the idea of adding metal too!
Noice! Can you post a video?
Thanks for the tips! I'm going to spray my unfinished basement white for a home gym I'm making.
Good luck with the project!
You did amazing!
Thank you!!
gives it an industrial look, looks great.
Thank you, really appreciate it!!
Good stuff. I did something similar the past weekend. First time as well. Work for this old guy but he didn't tell me to vacuum/dust the ceiling. No eye protection or nothing; just told me to spray 🤦🏾♂️. Irritated my eyes and everything. Your tips help a whole lot. Again, good stuff 🔥
Thanks! Hope your project turned out nice!
The ceiling looks a lot cleaner and less cluttered painted black, as well as looks like it is higher. Nice job!
My thoughts exactly, thank you!
Thank you for posting. I have been thinking of doing this in my basement and after viewing your video I feel brave enough to do it! Thanks again for taking the time to educate and advise us!
Thank you, I really appreciate it! Good luck with your project! You can do it!
I love how that came out! we're into our own version of that same project and you gave a boost of confidence that we're going in the right direction AND that we can do it ourselves!
Thank you! It really is an easy project, you just have to have patience while doing all the prep work. The spraying is actually fun and goes by so fast! Good luck!
Your before rec room looks identical to my Aunt’s room in Nebraska. I always that it was cool having the basement open to the outside.
Walk out basements are the best!
I did this to my basement a few years ago. The only thing I did different was I sprayed a coat of zinsser primer first and did a 50/50 vinegar wash on the galvanized ductwork to prevent peeling later on. It's probably the cheapest and easiest way to transform a basement while giving a modern look.
It really is!
Absolutely beautiful.
Thank you very much!
If you lime paint the cedar and cover that veneer stone in a decorative plaster, Marmorino or Intonachino, it would be an even more dramatic improvement
Thank you! long time I'm struggling with choice dry wall / black paint.. but.. I guess I go with black paint to save the space and money..
If your ceiling is completely flat, then drywall wouldn’t be too much more work but if you have a lot of plumbing/electric/HVAC to work around, then spraying it black is definitely a more effective route in terms of time and money
I had a question about this basement ceiling paint that I asked in another one of your videos and then came across this video which answered everything I wanted to know. Your videos are killing it!
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Looks good. I'm about to do mine black as well. Thanks for the tip on the light covering with your th
I may have to consider something like this when I get around to redoing my basement. I'd considered redoing the drop ceiling but in 2x2 tile or drywall but not a fan of the loss of height for either approach since there's only a smidge less than 8' clearance without it.
Yeah I would strongly recommend this option. It doesn’t show up on camera well but the ceiling really disappears. Especially when the ceiling lights are on. It becomes empty space and makes the ceilings feel so tall. Highly recommend
Bravo and thanks so much for sharing. So many great tips and hits all the important confidence-sapping question marks. Basements are such a bugaboo and I've found it very discouraging talking to contractors, who just want to slap up that ugly tiling system (which like you I'd just taken down!) or drywall...you nailed it in every way. 👍👍😎
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Could you cover how to replace those old basement lights fixtures please ?
They are called wafer LEDs. You can buy them at any big box store and they make ones that can screw into existing recessed can lights. Hope that helps!
Came here to ask the same question, thanks for the advice!
Great video. Your sprayer didn't create as much overspray as the gun I used did. Mine was a good grade, pot style, sprayer. My only regret was that when the job was done and I went upstairs, I discovered that there was overspray everywhere. The entire two story, 2500 sq ft house had overspray. I thought that I did a decent job around the staircase, and I wasn't recirculating with the furnace fan. It just got everywhere. It took hours to clean. Be careful which sprayer you use and prep accordingly.
The difference it makes!
Right!? Love the way it turned out 😁
Thank you for the tutorial. Your step by step instructions are easy to follow. Your basement looks good!
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
Love the exposed beams. I'm gping to do it it my sun porch cause someone stained the ceiling redwood. Ugly now but it'll be beautiful when done. Thanks for the inspiration!
The dog followed you the entire time… gotta love them. 😂
We’re considering doing this in our house ceiling. It’s a shop house design (barndo style). Thinking about going with the open truss look. Trusses are wood scissor trusses and we have closed cell spray foam on the roof.
That sounds like a fun project! Good luck!
Can't wait to see how your basement will turn out!
Me too haha! I have some really cool ideas for the design!
I actually like the look of black painted floor joists. The one thing I don't like while living with it is there's not much in the way of sound isolation between the two floors.
Yeah, this look really goes with the aesthetic of the rest of our home. We don't really need any sound isolation as upstairs we installed tile so there is a layer of subfloor (glued and screwed), mortar, durock, more mortar, then tile. It is quite solid and doesn't really transfer noise. Also, we raised a sunken floor upstairs so there is about 6 inches between the new subfloor and ceiling of the basement.
Thank you for the video and sharing the links this is on my to do list this winter. I really like the lights also just may add those to my list also.
Thanks for this, just bought a house with an old drop ceiling in the basement.
Thanks for watching! Good luck with your project!
Dude, you're a natural! Actually, I watched the whole thing.
Thank you man! Glad I was able to keep you entertained for the whole video haha!
Very good preparation makes this look fantastic.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
Cool video I been planning to spray mine ,nice work
FYI - I did this on my basement. Sherman Williams Dry fall 5 gallons one coat 600SF
Nice peoject. That turned out great. Thanks for the video!
So, why the green tape when you came back a did the tape and drop “cloth” combo? Could’ve done the same process with the second application as the first to seal the sections between the tongue and groove. And I would’ve just hammered the ceiling fasteners in. Huge time sinks in those two operations.
Thank you for the video. God bless you and your family.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
How has the paint on the duct work held up? I am about to start this project and have read multiple different opinions on priming duct work. Also what pressure setting were you using on the sprayer ? Thanks in advanced loved the video
Thanks for posting this video! QQ is there an inexpensive way on top of that paint to do some sound-dampening without doing expensive celling? Thanks
Life goals!!!
Thanks!
Looks great but I bet you can hear EVERYTHING above. only downside, but if not much traffic above it could work. if there's a main floor above that gets a lot of traffic, or god forbid... a bathroom.... prepare to hearing EVERYTHING
This video has motivated my wife and I to start renovating our basement. Thanks for the great content! Definitely subscribed!
Awesome! I’m glad my video helped to inspire. Good luck with the project and thanks for the sub!
Explain to me what’s going on with those floor joist? Why are they hanging down so low from the support beam? I’ve seen a lot of houses and I’ve never seen this.
It’s because the floor above is a sunken living room so they just dropped the whole joist during construction
I think your laser level might have shot into your camera lens at some point and killed some pixels on your sensor, I can see some consistent red/blue dots on your footage. Awesome work on the ceiling tho
Good eye! The low light capabilities of my old camera are not so great. It's about 10 years old and has been through many renovations. I actually recently upgraded to a very nice Sony mirrorless camera and upgraded my audio gear as well. You should be able to see/hear those in my more recent videos. Thanks!
Thanks for the video. This is exactly what I am looking for. I have a question? Does it require to have an exhaust fan in this application? Thanks
Thanks for watching! It’s not required but extremely helpful. I would make sure you have a good respirator at a minimum
This is what I needed, thank you!! How do you sound proof for the upstairs?
I've heard you gotta use oil based paint instead of latex because it will peel and chip. Was this done with oil?
No, as I mentioned in the video it is dryfall paint which is specifically meant for this purpose. It’s been well over a year with no issues 😁
Excellent video, very well done. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Why remove the spiral staircase? It was so cool!
It was falling apart and was the only staircase in the house making it hard to move things like furniture and older guests had trouble with it too
ok, makes sense@@GoldenKeyDesign
Has the paint cracked or chipped on the air ducts? I want to do this to the basement and I’m looking for what paint to use.
Great job! Very sharp look!
Thank you!!
nice work! exposed beams can be so cool :D
Thank you! We love the look of the exposed beams too!
Great tutorial. Very helpful.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful!
Nice Terminator 2 Pin.
Looking for that industrial look as you're taking down commercial ceiling tiles😂😂😂
Looking for an industrial look, not an office building look
@@GoldenKeyDesign then you should take down the dated wood walls to expose the beautiful industrial concrete🤤 and then you could run nice conduit to all of your receptacles to get that real industrial vibe. I honestly would have painted the drop ceiling.
@@zacharykorbet9690 drop ceiling was way too low
Looks really good man
Thank you!
Hello! Thank you so much for this great video! Question for you... After you put up the green tape, you were using the 3M masker to put up the 3M painter's plastic. Did you use the Blue tape with the 3m painter's plastic? What width did you use - 1 inch or 1.41?
Thanks! I did use blue tape since the masker only accepts 3M tape. I believe the width depends on which size masker you buy.
heat vents and cold air returns have an oil film on them to prevent rust…most untrained DIYers don’t know this. You wipe the vents with simple green, rinse and dry.
What are the lights you are using? Those look amazing?
They are referred to as pancake LEDs. You find them at pretty much any big box store 😁
Excellent video! Just a question about all the electrical wires on the ceiling. Did you paint over those and is the paint rated for use with electric wires?
I have that same question!
I feel like white or gray wouldve been better so the room seems more brighter but hey thats just me looks great though :D
Thank you! The black actually looks much better in person and the ceiling disappears when the lights are on making the room actually feel much taller. We also get a lot of natural light from the wall of windows/sliding doors
Just wondering if you think one coat was enough or if you wish you did a 2nd? 👍 great job
If you buy high quality paint, one coat is plenty. If you buy the cheaper stuff you’d probably need to do 2. Dryfall is the highest quality you can get and one coat was more than enough for coverage
Hey great video. Could you link the lights that you swapped out for the fluorescent bank lights?
Thank you! I just linked them for you
This looks fantastic.
Thanks, appreciate it!
nice project. good hints for the tools.
Thanks, really appreciate it 😁
@@GoldenKeyDesign unfortunately the sprayer is not deliverable
in my country (switzerland).
@@olivergengenbach7138 Ah sorry about that. I’m sure there are brands there that sell a similar product though
@@GoldenKeyDesign nope. know nothing comparable in the regular "home depots" here. expect it to swap over as a lot if successful stuff dies (like ryobi).
Looks great
Thanks!
looks badass
Thank you so much!
When you were about to take out those drop ceiling clips, I thought you were talking about the joist hangers and almost stopped the video.
haha! I would never!
Looks really good!
Thank you!
What about the plumbing, especially the valves.
Should've been primed right? Is this really going to stick on all of the different materials???
This is a super high end paint and doesn’t need primer as long as the surfaces are clean. It’s been up for over a year with no issues 😁
@@GoldenKeyDesign What kind?
@@gabrielkind2970 As I mention in the video, it is called Dryfall paint
What did you buy for the can less lights and did they come with the metal brackets?
They are called pancake LEDs and they sell a variety at any big box store. You can buy the metal hangers separately
Nice job!
Thanks!
Never heard of dry fall paint.
It’s great stuff!
Leaving tiles up keeps most of the dust from settling on your stuff.
I might have missed it, but what’s the square footage in this area?
Around 500sqft
Looks good. Doing the exact same thing. How does the paint hold up on the galvanized duct with the fluctuations from heat to cooling during different seasons? What is the odor of it like?
Thanks! The paint holds up surprisingly on the metal duct work. I haven’t had any issues and it’s already been through a summer and winter. I would just wait to turn on your AC/furnace for at least a day to let the paint fully cure. It did smell for a couple days but it quickly faded. Hope that helps!
You definitely want to prime it or IT WILL peel. SW makes a great primer for those, sure bond is the name.
Do you feel the need to sound proof the exposed ceiling? We are doing this to my sons room downstairs and I am trying to figure out a good material to use to sound proof
1 year in - how is it holding up without the primer? Looks good though! Thanks
It’s still good as new! If you use dryfall, you should be good. But if you go with a more budget friendly paint, I would suggest priming first
In your professional opinion, which ps5 games would you recommend I use to hold up my laser level? Would old xbox games work, or does it have to be ps5? Thanks in advance 🙏 lol
Great job! Do you have a video for how you did your stairwell? Love the look.
Thank you! And yes I do! Check out the lake house project playlist 😁
Thank you! I need this right now. (basically same replay as X Law) Subscribing. We want to make a bar, too.
Thanks, appreciate the subscription! I have a whole series on building my basement bar if you haven’t watched that yet. Welcome aboard!
what is at the top of the walls (between the joists) that separate the rooms?
Nice T2!
Did you have electrical wires or copper lines or drain pipes in the ceiling. If so how did you deal with them?
We did. Prior to spraying the ceiling, we had a plumber and electrician come out and clean up the ceiling as best they could to make it look less like a spider web haha
How do you get rid of spider webs for good after painting
Can’t do too much about it other than pest control services
Hope you reply.
I’m doing a basement in a new build and about to order lights.
Planning for the main 18’ X 45’ “family room” to be dry fall paint.
The bath, 2 bedrooms, storage, gym, and panic room already have lights upgraded to my liking and will be drywall or Ac Maple Plywood.
I’m struggling with the main living / family / pool table room lights. I want large thin LED rectangle over the pool table and my wife found something she likes. It has black trimmed edges.
Sorry for the long winded text to a get to the question.
What LED light will work with black on black with black pool table light AND no dry wall?
I would go with a light that only casts light downwards. You do not want light casting up or sideways as it will highlight the open ceiling. With only down casting light, the ceiling will pretty much disappear
Hi! Love the end product. We are looking to do something similar in our basement. Out of curiosity what brackets did you use to mount the LED recessed lights? And what lights did you use? Thanks!
Thank you! I used pancake LED lights. You can find them at pretty much any big box store as they are new standard for residential lighting. They usually come in a variety if sizes too. You should find the brackets in the same section. They are made of 2 metal rails that span the joists with a metal cutout for the light to snap into. Hope that helps!
Going to do the same thing with my basement but it already has fiberglass insulation in the ceiling which I am tempted to leave in place for a bit of soundproofing and just paint over the fiberglass (which I am sure will take a lot more paint...but I fear it also may end up looking like crap). What is your opinion on whether i should take out the insulation or try to paint over it? ...and how is the sound transmittion from your basement to the 1st floor and vise versa in your house without insulation. Looks great by the way.
Wood stain would have looked dope
We wanted to the ceiling to disappear rather than be a highlight of the room. The ceiling was also particle board so it wouldn’t have stained well
Hi can you share the link of the black ceiling paint ?
It is Sherwin Williams black Dryfall paint
