FAQs

How much paint do I need?

Generally speaking... 1 gallon of HD paint will cover most home theaters. However many larger home theaters and theaters for commercial use can be larger. In which case stay tuned for our estimator calculator which is coming soon.

What is the best paint for my situation?

If you have an HD projector and low light in the room then go with S1 Screen Paint Silver.

Does this work in a room with a lot of natural light?

Yes. In fact, each paint is formulated to combat natural light using special particles that are mixed into the paint. Our higher quality paints will combat natural light better.

How much does 1 gallon cover?

1 gallon can cover up to 170 square feet or a 240” diagonal.

How does the paint work? How is it different than normal paint?

The paint has been formulated with special particles that help increase the amount of light (from the projector) that reflects back to the viewer. This results in a clearer picture. The particles also help to combat natural and artificial lighting. The grey tone of some of the paints also helps to display a truer black color and prevents white colors from drowning out.

Why is the paint silver?

The silver tone helps to display a truer black color and prevents whites from drowning out.

What is gain?

Gain is the amount of light that is reflected back to the viewer. Essentially the more gain, the better the picture, but the smaller the viewing angle.

What is the viewing angle of your paint?

The viewing angle changes with the amount of natural light, project type, and distance from screen. It would be tough to give specifics because there are a lot of variables.

Can you send me samples?

Yes, please contact us if you'd like samples.

Is your paint matte or satin?

Our paint is a satin finish.

Is your paint oil or water based?

Our paint is water based.

Can I tint the paint?

You can, but we don’t recommend it. If you decide to tint the paint your warranty will be void.

Do I need to apply a primer?

It’s not required, but we recommend it in order to get the most out of the paint and create the highest quality image. We recommend using any flat white latex primer that you can pick up from your local hardware store.

What should I use to apply the paint?

All of our paints, except the 3DHD paint, should be applied with a mirco-fiber roller. Our 3DHD paint must be sprayed on. Detailed installation instructions will be sent with the product.

How many coats should I apply?

We recommend applying 2 even coats. Be sure to wait 24 hours between coats.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

It can take up to 48 hours for the paint to completely dry.

What types of surface can your paint be applied to?

The paint can be applied to any porous surface including: wood, drywall, concrete, and fabric. Note: if applied to fabric the fabric should be fixed. Rolling the fabric may cause the paint to crack. (for drywall, we recommend putting down a basic flat white primer first)

Yes. Just remember that when you paint over a screen that screen will no longer have the ability to roll up.
