Hi im really interested in the silverfire screen, now at the moment i have tried blackwidow ultra that mhi helped me with, and im really happy with the results. but me being always wanting to improve i have the urge to try out silverfire to see if get any improvements. but the paints are to come by in the uk. below is the paints i have managed to find in the uk.
can you tell me if the below links are the right components for me?
(Colorant Components)

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Liquitex-BA...s=Liquitex+Basics+-+Cadmium+Yellow+-+Deep+Hue
(Viscosity Components)

(Reflective Base Components)

on the reflective base components i have missed the following..
Rustoleum Metallic Accents – White Pearl* See link below ** .......20 21 22 23 24
Rustoleum Metallic Accents Sterling Silver *** AMAZON ........20 21 22 23 24
Behr 1850 UPW Flat Home Depot ....
now will i still need the above 3? are there any alternitives?
and am i correct that this will be the exact steps to paint the screen......
1. mix the colourant components separate?
2. mix the (Viscosity Components) and (Reflective Base Components) together?
3. mix the above 1 and 2 together?
use spray paint and spray on the white pvc board.
now interms of what shade to go for im not sure. currently i have black widow ultra with grey steel 1 and AAA mixed and i am very happy with the black levels the only downside is the gain is below 0.8 which for me is too dark specially for 3d movies which i watch a lot.
my room has white walls and ceilings and my projector is optoma hd25e which has 2800 lumens and i have a screen size of 92 inch from 9 feet away.
now after reading most of the silverfire thread i understand no matter what shade i choose i will always have a gain of 1.0? is this correct? this is the only reason i want to try silverfire is if i can have the balck level of BWU or better and have increased gain from 0.8 to 1.0 or higher.
this is really important for me the gain i need my screen to be bright but also watchable during the day and have deep blacks during the night.
now if someone can help me out and give me some info would be appreciated. thanks.
also any screenshots of silver in action specially during the day.
