DIY Projector Screens - Screen Goo to the Rescue!
Three Reasons to Try Projector Screen Paint
- Are you trying to install a home theater in your basement and just can’t afford a good quality massive projection screen?
- Do you dislike how your current screen looks fixed against the wall in your room?
- Can’t figure out how to install or hang your projection screen and just figured you would give up?
How to Make a Projector Screen with Screen Goo
Let’s go a bit more in depth. Screen Goo is an acrylic based paint which is vastly reflective. This special paint has been designed specifically for video projection and to act as a high quality projection screen. Screen Goo can be applied to any smooth paint-able surface, like your basic wall. If the wall has any texture to it, be sure to sand down the texture to create a smooth finish to paint on. A complete screen created using Screen Goo requires only two coats of paint, a topcoat and a base-coat. Applying Screen Goo on a white surface is highly recommended for best results. A primer is also recommended if your surface is not already white.
Screen Goo caters to both front projection screen users and rear projection screen users. To make a rear projection screen with Screen Goo, spray a thin coat of Screen Goo rear projection screen paint on a piece of plexi-glass or some other transparent surface. Screen Goo paint bonds permanently to plexi-glass. Apply the rear projection paint to glass instead if it would be better to have a temporary screen. Screen Goo projection screen paint will clean off of glass, and it can be sanded off of walls just the same as latex house paint.
