I'm looking for a paint mix (I'm in the UK), that will work well at night but also well in daylight with blinds up. A white wall isn't cutting it. What mix should I be looking at? I got a pot of this paint - Wickes Colour Home Vinyl Matt Emulsion Paint - to test and I've found when compared to...

Extreme newbie question here. Will there be any long term bad effects if I paint primer on my wall to use as a screen and then repaint it later when I learn enough and acquire a good paint/paint mix for the actual screen? I'm thinking of rolling it on. 1/4" nap seems to be a recommended...

Right now I feel certifiably insane. Anyone remember the first time they bought black paint and started painting the room Black?! This just seems wrong for some reason. All my life I have painted rooms white, cream, almond, ... and tried my best to make them look super nice like a model home...

A year ago I painted RS-MaxxMudd Retro v.2.1 and my results were "just OK". Too much orange peel and the screen is too sparkley and the whites are washed out. I blaim the orange peel on the gun. I used a Wagner Flexio 890 and I just couldn't get a smooth surface despite my best efforts. I just...

I was going to try to paint my wall, but during prep I noticed a fairly large hump. So I decided to just go with a fixed frame screen. I have $380 in Amazon gift cards, so was budgeting up to $400 for the screen. Less would be better if there isn't much of a sacrifice in quality though. Main...

I am a little confused and need some help. My intent was to paint a BOC screen. My understanding is that the paint needs to be applied after it is stretched so it won't crack. That's where I'm at right now. I read somewhere in the past that you should roll the first coat or fuzz will come up...

Recently I finished building my home theatre large screen 12' wide x 7' wide. I used seamless paper with border frame built with wood and covered with black velveteen fabric. Now I am wondering if I should paint seamless paper with HD paint. Anyone tried this ?

Ok I'm finally almost ready for paint in my 1st dedicated home theater. I'm painting it a dark purple flat which I have learned from a lot of you guys on here so it doesn't reflect. My plan was to paint the walls and the ceiling all the same color the dark purple. My wife said I should do a...

So I finished my HT Sub en-devour, I'm looking for a nice Black glossy look. I know MDF is really porous and applying straight spray paint will just look blotchy. I want that Glossy reflection look, does anyone know some steps I can follow to obtain this.

Hi Shackers I have been an avid reader of your forums for some time and decided it was time to join in. I've recently acquired REW V5.0 and all required testing gismos and about to begin playing with room acoustics. Even without testing I have already made some DIY bass traps for the room front...
