How do I paint my basement ceiling to give it that industrial look?

A light Grey paint on your ceiling would generate the industrial look... Because it will highligthened the reflections of such any metal fixture you suppose install in to your ceiling... And of course, to paint your wall with a lighter tone than the ceiling color.How do I paint my basement ceiling to give it that industrial look?
i saw a neat trick on hgtv for that very thing...find a mettalic wallpaper (kind of a foil) preferrably one with texture and use just as you would for walls. its very professional looking. a copper color would look nice but i would use a color that will relate to any exposed pipes that are there. you could also use a mettalic paint. hope this works for youHow do I paint my basement ceiling to give it that industrial look?
normally the paint in industrial places would be a black flat but you may not want black. look In magazines or on line for ideas but stick to flat paint no matter what..
Try using a light gray/silver color and then a silver metallic glaze cross-hatching patterns look great. Good Luck!!
Dark grey with splatter, but it would seem cramped. Look for a spray on heavy texture in a light color.
Try steel checker plate
