Rented airless sprayer for weekend. Did use a brush for a few touch-ups, but almost not at all.
Had a guy finish drywall first, ready for painting.
Floors still as bare cement.
Did crown myself. This takes time, obviously, but not bad with laser level and help, and I've done crown before.
Drop film on all walls from top of crown to floor, overlapping, essentially making a Dexter like kill area. Only pot lights and a few electric boxes (drop light boxes and smoke detector box) were 'covered' . Everything else above crown was exposed and painted. Lit it up with portable light(s) and sprayed. Second coat next day. Spraying not fun, so many angles, but like everything else - not bad when finished. Did 2 coats. Easy to miss spots but as black covered well. White would be harder to cover well. Also important to note that it takes ALOT more paint than surface area. Finished part of basement was 1500 sq feet. Used almost 40 litres paint.
