Currently I have the Misty Evening Gray painted sheetrock/drywall screen. I was wondering if I might improve on it with a particular laminate... without spending much $$$.

My projector is the Sanyo Z4 and my room is completely light controlled.
That depends on what your definition of $$$ is. If you are expecting the same price as a quart of paint, the answer is no. Laminate is typically $1.66 a square foot. Home Depot adds around $20 for a handling fee (just an extra charge they can tack on for no real reason)

What is it you want to improve? If you used a flat finish you could try rolling on a coat of matte poly. If you used eggshell finish the poly won't make a difference for you.

Seeing that you have a gray screen now, Fashion Gray would work for you, but it needs a poly coating to knock down the specular gain to prevent hot spotting.
