Are there any recommended paints for use on a projector wall ?

Any advice, much appreciated.

Sorry, can't recommend a make as I can't remember what I used! Bloody expensive as I remember, over £150 for a pot the size of a small baked bean tin.

When I got the paint, I do remember my wife saying under no circumstances should then projector wall in the games/cinema room be painted shortly before she went shopping.......... hehe silly girl smile

I've only got a 2000 lumins projector and it makes a huge difference to he viewing experience. You must follow the instructions and at first you'll think it's not thick enough, but it's about building layers of paint. I also painted a 1" border in black around the screen area to frame the screen. (screen size is about 1.5m x pro in 16:8. I used low tack masking tape once the projector paint was dry. That also helped.

I painted ours some years ago and it's still like new. The kids use the room all the time (it's also sound proofed) and it was a good investment as far as im concerned.
