So I was doing research for my DIY screen project last year. That got put on hold and i'm revisiting it now. I've lost most of my notes but what I did find was a recipe that involved some behr faux glaze, delta silver metallic and 20oz of distilled water. What's that recipe? And I wonder if things have changed since I made note of it.
My room is 16' wide. At the back of the room is the kitchen. It's 20' from the screen wall to where the kitchen begins. Then the kitchen is about another 18' till the side of the house. The only lights we have on are those in the kitchen and they don't shine directly on the screen but they do illuminate the room somewhat.
I currently have a 119" dalite HCCV screen. When the kitchen lights are on my contrast is somewhat poor but still watchable. It's better with the lights out obviously but I could still use better contrast. I'd like a brighter image at the same time. I've already taped off the new screen and it will be 145".
We are currently painting the rest of the room now and are almost done. Then I will apply some kilz2 primer to the screen area after I sand the texture off the wall. If all goes well I should be able to start spraying later this evening. I'd like to roll but I don't think with my skills that i'd get good results.
So I can go to home depot or lowes and pick up a sprayer today. I found some tutorials here on the forums for spraying and will watch those before I begin.
Any particular paint formula recipe suggestions before I begin?
Projector is a panasonic PT-AX100 and i'll likely have it for the next two years before upgrading to a 1080p hopefully LED projector.
