anyone looking to do this, i did it and it’s awesome. been about a year now. i used sherwin williams pro mar flat black. the taping around the upper edge is the best idea ever. but make sure to use frog tape delicate (yellow roll). i also primed duct work, wire and pex to help with adhesion. i have a graco vsp sprayer and it worked for a bedroom but took forever so used a buddies big sprayer and did the entire rest of basement in the time i did one bedroom. i also let it dry for a few hours and went over it again with a light second coat and then did touch ups few hours later. having adequate lighting helps finding blemishes you miss.

What is the reason for one over the other? 2) Who rents a sprayer? I don't want to invest in a sprayer that i will never use again.

I am not sure about the price difference. I imagine any flat black dryfall would work well. I bought mine refurbished from a company online and resold it on Facebook Marketplace after the project.

Once you put you first tape line on the wall along the ceiling paint from the tape to the ceiling with your wall color. Then you can put your tarp up with tape but keep that tarp tape line in the center of the first tape you installed. You won’t have to worry about the black or whatever color your using bleed through.
