Ok I painted my blue wall with cheap flat white paint ... HMMM it's a start... Then when I thought I was thru with this DIY project oh crap I need a better DIY Screen .... So I am looking at all the paint coatings and such ... But here is the thing ... My wall is 15 feet wide x 8 ft Tall... The size of my projection is 14 feet wide x6.5 feet tall... Hell it's almost the whole wall.. I am sure I could move the projector closer but it is sitting on my wife's side of the bed and it has to be slightly behind her so she wont knock it over when she gets out of bed in the morning...

I thought about blackout cloth at first so I went to Hancock fabrics... They only carry 54 inch width ( to freakin small) and at 5.99 a yard thats just ridiculous for fabric...

I did make one discovery while painting my wall with 5 coats of cheap flat white paint, when the flat white paint was wet I had a really nice gain in screen brightness... but once it dried my screen whites wash out everything..

Meaning this if you watch colored words on a white screen the words are unreadable due to the whites being so bright ,, so if I KILL THE CONTRAST A Little it smooth everything out but now the picture is a dull looking..
