People I know not everyone wants to build a screen so I have found an alternative but I havent tried it. This is a paint designed strictly for making screens. fo those who dont want a screen on the wall all the time Is say paint it with this stuff and frame it and just say it is modern art when not in use or paint the rest of the room white and it will all match.

Base Coat


Top Coat


You can find it here http://www.mountsandmore.com/asp/show_cat....or+screen+paint

There have been some posts on this and other paint-it-yourself screen, mostly asking about the effectiveness of the product, but I am not sure anyone has actually gone and tried any and have posted results. I know Dr. Bev has gone the MMud route (as opposed to commercial, like ScreenGoo) but I don't think he has posted results.

Edit: Oooh...I guess he has....

I saw a whole article on this stuff once, versus other products. It did really really well, in fact I liked it the best of all the products tested although it came in second. If you want to find the article, I think it might have been on www.hometheaterforum.com so try searching there.

That stuff is WAY too expensive.

That doesn't work. The rollers leaves streaks, the sprayers leave blemishes. Blah

Not on my walls...maybe you need some practise

If it does leave streaks or blemishes they will dissapear when it is fully cured, can take up to 6 months!

Ferris you have any screen shots of your screen? Dying for some goo shots.

I have seen the results on another home theatre forum, and the people that applied the first coat of the final two coats. Sprayed it on with a paint sprayer and noticed better results also it says if you roll it on use a new roller for each of the four layers and allow it to cure and final results will get better with the 6 month cure.

There is a lot of skill/art in getting a flat surface with this type thing.

For best results, you're expected to sand thoroughly in between each of several coats put on with a small nap roller, or use a pressure sprayer in a spray booth(which takes experience).

Goo is just a mixture of white paint that originated when people saw that the audiophiles (and their wallets) started crossing over into videophilia, bringing their competitive appreciation of niche products/techniques to color temperature, gain and reflectivity. The high cost of high-end screens, the subjectivity of "white," and the words 'specially developed,' made it popular.

Go with any of the dozens of mixes of paint that have been popularized on the AVS DIY screen boards. You can try half a dozen of 'em and pick whichever you like better, putting them on 4x8 tackboard, for the same price as a tub of Goo.

yes but there are way to many conflicting posts and topics on this sort of thing and many newbies who want something bigger and better then blackout cloth

"6 month cure" Sounds like company propaganda to me.

Nope actually user experience at AVS.

Sorry I meant as in I knew how to paint without leaving lines with rollers, I have not painted my screen yet.
