Drop ceilings are pure garbage. I like spraying flat black but Drywall if you got the cssh/skills.

Because it makes the room seem taller, it's just that simple.
My basement has windows... Like most others.

No shit.
Dark colors make things dark and light colors lighten them...what would we do without you?

It would ALSO make SENSE if he TOOK the time to actually LOOK at the first FIRST post.

No actually we get along quite well in another thread, you just didn't really read the point of the thread and started on your own tangent. No worries, it happens.

Wow, I wouldn't want to paint the joists of a already finished basement for starters, but I'm sure it could be done.
Like above you'll have to plastic every inch of the wall as it gets everywhere.
If you're going that way you'd need to rent an actual big ass sprayer professional style to get it done quick.
If it's not complete yet, I just used a $50 wagner sprayer. It took a long time, but it was cheap.

Roll a ceiling of joists? Man that's A LOT of hand brushing in the corners.
Don't know aboot "dry spots" with flat black.

Oh yeah that'll do it. I've always wondered aboot painting normal drywall with a gun but figured it was harder than you'd think!

Where?

Using Latex and I didn't see any of those issues as a concern.
