You can rent them for cheap from Lowes/Home Depot/etc.... Use Flat finish black and do several coats plus a couple of more over the flex-ducts. Then as you build out the space... over any areas when you have lights going up, put stuff to take up the light so it distracts from the ceiling. Put stuff like netting, thatch, matting or fabric above the area of the light so it looks like you have ceiling and your eye is taken away from the ductwork or pipes or whatever is up above. And please take as many process pictures as you can!
