Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint Reviews

Matt the Movie Buff - Cincinnati

For movies the results have been great, the kit itself was comprehensive including the roller which was a little small but adequate. The paint is easy to apply but the results are really noticeable. Arriving less than 24 hours after ordering a happy experience across the board.

Thompson Jarvic - Home Cinema Solutions

Repainted an old fixed frame cinema screen for us at 20% of the price of replacing it and the result is better than we could have imagined. The clarity and resolution is first rate. Highly recommended.

FAQ's

Once applied, your wall becomes a high-performance projection surface. Simply position your projector and direct it towards the painted wall for an optimal viewing experience.

Our projector paint is compatible with most projectors, including interactive models, and it works seamlessly on metal, wood, plaster concrete, and wallboards.

Gain measures how efficiently a screen reflects light back to the viewer. It is a comparison against a standard reference, typically a matte white surface with a gain of 1.0.

A higher gain reflects more light, thus enhancing brightness, but reducing the viewing angle.

On the other hand, a lower gain diffuses light more evenly, offering a wider viewing area, but a slightly dimmer image. The right gain depends on factors such as room lighting, projector strength, and audience positioning.

Gain directly impacts the brightness and visibility of the projected image. A well-chosen gain ensures clear, high-quality visuals without sacrificing the viewing angle.

Not necessarily. While a high gain screen increases brightness, it also narrows the ideal viewing position. So the viewers sitting at an angle may see reduced brightness, thus making it less suitable for wider audiences.

A 1.0 gain screen ensures balanced brightness across multiple angles, thus making it a reliable choice. However, your decision should be based on your environment : • Higher gain : Brighter image, but limited optimal viewing positions. • Lower gain : Wider visibility, but softer brightness. Kindly ensure to thoroughly consider the lighting conditions, seating layout, and the audience size before making a choice.

Following are the advantages of high gain screen : • Increases brightness in well-lit spaces • Improves contrast in dim settings • Minimises unwanted reflections from walls and ceilings • Ideal for environments with controlled lighting.

High gain screens have the following limitations : • Restricts optimal viewing to a narrower area • Not ideal for large audiences due to uneven brightness • Less effective in outdoor settings.

Low gain screens offer the following benefits : • Wider viewing angles for larger groups • More uniform brightness across the screen • Softens excessive projector brightness for eye comfort.

Well, following are the downsides of low gain screens : • Reduced brightness in outdoor environments • May absorb some projector light, affecting image clarity • Lower contrast may impact detail visibility.

Yes. Our Ambient Light Rejecting (ALR) Screen Paint is carefully engineered for seamless projection blending, making it perfect for art installations, theatres, and large-scale presentations. It ensures consistent colour, even brightness, and smooth image transitions, thus eliminating the need for bulky screens.

Yes, absolutely. Our projector paints are fully compatible with both 2D and 3D projectors, ensuring crystal-clear image quality. When paired with 3D glasses, the paint preserves depth and dimension for offering an immersive viewing experience.

3D projectors display overlapping images with different polarisations. Specialised glasses filter these images so each eye sees the correct one.

However, if a screen distorts polarity, the 3D effect is lost, but our paint preserves polarity, thus ensuring the projection remains perfectly aligned for delivering true-to-life 3D visuals.

Our projector paints do not interfere with sound waves, thus ensuring that audio remains crisp and clear. We tested the Sound Absorption Coefficient (SAC) of a 12mm gypsum board before and after painting, and the values remained unchanged. The values obtained were as follows :

Unpainted Board α = 0.04-0.07
Painted Board α = 0.04-0.07

This means our paints allow sound to pass through naturally, thus making them ideal for cinema rooms, auditoriums, and other similar professional settings.

Applying Smart Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint is as easy as pie. You can use either a roller or a spray, whichever suits your style. However, before you actually dive into the transformation, kindly make sure the surface is absolutely clean, dry, and free from any loose debris. Now, let’s break it down step by step for your better understanding :

Step 1 : Prep your area that will become the painted screen : Fill any holes and give the surface a good sanding to create a smooth base. Step 2 : Measure the area you wish to paint and mark it out with masking tape, ensuring your edges are crisp and neat. Step 3 : If the surface is untreated, be sure to prime it with two coats of Smart White Primer to get the best results. Step 4 : Give your Smart Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint a good stir to ensure it’s perfectly mixed and ready for action. Step 5 : Using a short-pile roller sleeve (preferably mohair or lint-free), apply the first coat of the paint. Let it dry fully before applying the final coat for a flawless finish. Step 6 : Allow the surface to settle for a minimum of 24 hours to achieve optimal results.

And there you have it. Your perfect home cinema screen is just a few simple steps away.

This high-performance projector screen paint works beautifully on any smooth, non-textured surfaces such as plaster, wallboards, metal, wood, concrete, and composites. However, it is exclusively designed for indoor use, and is therefore perfect for home cinemas, offices, and classrooms.

Well, for obtaining the best results, we strongly recommend applying the paint to an already painted or primed surface. If your surface is bare or untreated, first apply two coats of Smart White Primer to create a smooth, even base.

Absolutely yes. Our paint is low VOC, solvent-free, and free from PFOS, PFOA and isocyanates, thus making it a safe and eco-friendly choice.

Also, to stay on the safe side, we suggest that you always wear the protective gloves included in your kit while applying the paint.

No, not at all. Unlike some lower-quality alternatives, our projector screen paint is 100% isocyanate-free. This ensures a safer application process without the need for complex safety measures.

For a hassle-free application, make sure to wear the supplied gloves and consider using safety glasses to prevent accidental splashes. Also, as with any other painting job, kindly ensure the room is well-ventilated for added comfort.

Well, you need not to worry as Smart Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint is certified fire-safe and it meets the highest fire performance standards. With a high flashpoint exceeding 158°F (70°C), it’s a completely reliable option for schools, offices, and other professional settings.

Yes, you can. Thanks to its low VOC and low odour formulation, it’s safe to use around both children and adults. Since it’s isocyanate-free, there’s no risk of harmful fumes or irritation.

If you happen to get some paint on your skin, simply wash it off with warm soapy water.

Well, just quickly clean up any spills with water before the paint dries, and also make sure to promptly wash your paint brushes or rollers.

Keeping your screen in pristine condition is easy. All you need to do is wipe it down with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust or marks.

Our Smart Projector Paints are designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of projectors, including interactive models. So whether you are setting up a home theatre, office presentation space, or classroom, our paints ensure a brilliantly sharp and vivid display.

The Smart Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint boasts a gain value of 0.32 @ 90°, thus ensuring superior contrast and rich visuals even in environments with controlled lighting.

Smart Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint Installation

Smart Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint – Elevate Your Viewing Experience

Transform any suitable indoor surface be it plaster, wood, wallboards, metal, concrete, or composites into a high-performance projection screen with our Smart Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint. Especially designed for interior use, this innovative paint delivers exceptional visual clarity and contrast that is perfect for home cinemas, classrooms or even offices. 

Preparation is Key

A flawless finish starts with proper preparation. Ensure your chosen surface is dry, clean and free from dust or any loose materials. Mark out the area with masking tape for precision. If you are working with a bare or untreated surface, apply a coat of Smart White Primer, then give it a light sanding for a smooth base.

Getting Started

Give the paint a thorough stir before the application process. If dealing with fresh plaster, start with a coat of standard white paint or primer, then fill and sand any imperfections for a sleek finish.

Applying the Base Coat

For the base layer, use a mohair or lint-free short pile roller sleeve to achieve an even application. Apply the first coat from the base coat tin, let it dry, then sand it smooth before adding the second coat. Allow the base coats to fully dry before proceeding further. This typically takes 2-4 hours at 20°C. 

The Final Touch

With the base ready, it's time for the top coat. Using the same high-quality roller sleeve, thoroughly apply the first layer and let it dry before adding the second layer. For attaining the best results, lightly sand between subsequent coats if required to maintain a pristine surface.
