I was wondering if I painted a screen onto my textured wall would the texturing make it look bad? Will it take away from the sharpness?

textured walls do not make good screens. A good amount of the light will not reflect back to your eye because it will hit a bump and scatter. the result will be a grainy screen. this pic illustrates the result



This thread is a plog of a textured wall painted with a high gain paint mix.

I ended up sanding the screen area down with regular sand paper, that HURT and it took FOREVER. unsure.gif Results are quite amazing though. biggrin.gif I used the Evermoore Misty Evening paint.
