    I've been having fun with an Aaxa P300 for a few months now, but most of that has been outdoors or simply finding a suitable wall/ceiling inside. Now I've gotten to a point where I'd like to fix up a fairly dedicated "theater" room. The P300 is a three LED DLP business projector rated at a slim...

    Hello. First off, my quick story will be a testament to my ignorance. I misread a post in a different section saying to paint my wall dark gray. Apparently he meant the walls, not the actual area I would be projecting on. My fault :rolleyesno: I bought a sample tub of Stealth Jet and...
