Fixing My Biggest DIY Pole Barn Mistake | Black Ceiling

Looks good! a suggestion is when using primer have it tinted to the color you are after and it will make it way easier to cover and even save a coat of paint

@@caryreed1563 thanks!

Hey Shawn, Shop looks good with the black ceiling. You got me rethinking mine now. I went with a high gloss white to reflect the light everywhere...

[@ShawnFerret]

I bet the reflectivity is nice to have on yours. If not for the drywall cracking I likely would have gone with white.

[@cmorin543]

@@ShawnFerret Yeah, there's definitely light reflection everywhere. But I've been seeing more and more people going with the black ceiling with some really bright lighting... or those hexagon-type lighting systems that look really cool on the black background.

[@ShawnFerret]

@@cmorin543 yeah those hexagon lights are soooooo nice!

Interesting choice in color, or as they say, "black is the sum of all colors". You seem to have made it work.

[@ShawnFerret]

Thanks!

Is that more of a matte? I'm looking to do satin. Looks good!

[@ShawnFerret]

I'm pretty sure it's called Flat which is the next one down from Satin so yes it's more of a matte finish. I bet Satin would look good too.

Great job, it looks so industrial. Did it get darker? I noticed that you kept the original lights, but I didn't notice any change on the video with respect to making the room darker

[@ShawnFerret]

Thanks! I didn't notice any change in the light levels... still super bright!

[@jsully4074]

Looks good! What sheen was the paint that you used?

[@ShawnFerret]

Thanks! It's a flat or matte paint finish.
