I think it’ll look great! Just be sure to sand them if they’re sealed with super thick and glossy clear-coat since the paint won’t really grip that well and it might look wonky. Then after it’s applied, clear coat over it with poly to seal it in (since no one touches the beams we don’t need to do that :)

Since we still had attic access to the junction boxes we could seal them up from below (with a metal plate and some spackle to camouflage them), but if you have a second story instead of access in the attic beware of hiding fixture boxes behind spackle because its hard to find them again and can be dangerous if there unmarked :)

I would just test it very lightly on a beam in a corner that faces the wall/corner so you don’t see it very often. If it goes on well you’re all set and if it beads up and sits on top of what look like sealer you can just wipe it off and then sand and start over.

You could probably not go wrong either way! It just comes down to what you like more. I would google around or look at magazines to see if you see rooms done either way that you’re particularly drawn to! Hope it helps.
