Hey folks -
I'm looking for the best paint mix for my X1. I'm in the process of re-doing my living room (theater room..) and bought a piece of 4x8 parkland plas-tex at Lowe's.
Prior to hanging the screen on the wall, I was just projecting on the wall which I just painted - a dark brown. The picture was actually quite good - the paint seems to have some reflective properties that made for a very nice looking picture. I put up my white piece of parkland and of course the picture is 'brighter' but I have lost a lot of the contrast and 'richness' of the picture..
For a PJ like the X1 with xlnt contrast and a decent lumen output, what paint formula am I best off using? I was thinking of putting a dark base-coat on it and then mixing some reflective silver metallic paint about 40/60 with a translucent white color...would this 'richen' my picture? Would I be better off using one of the formulas listed here, or do a three coat process with a dark base, pure silver metallic, then a translucent white?
Thanks for the help!
