I’m in the process of finishing the basement. I chose to leave the ceiling exposed and wish to paint it. I’ve already sanded it. What is the best primer and paint to use? I plan on spraying it on and also plan to paint the exposed pipes. I’m torn between using white or black. Has anyone painted their ceilings black like the do in some restaurants? The ceilings are 8′ tall from the bottom of the joists 8.5′ tall between them.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
