Customer Testimonials

Check out how users create immersive viewing experiences with ultra high contrast projector screen paint.

The whiteboard wall paint was extremely easy to apply

The whiteboard wall paint was extremely easy to apply – and the customer service was accessible and helpful so I was delighted to give a review for this whiteboard paint and company! As a teacher you try to present as many different ways as possible to teach a concept and having the extra large dry erase wall helped us to teach concepts, facilitate games and student bonding and write instructions. We have no problem erasing everything with a multi purpose sponge eraser! It has been a HUGE learning tool for our classroom and we are forever grateful.

Turning Complex Workflows into Clear Action

At any one time I work on 8-10 initiatives and your dry erase marker paint has enabled me to better visualize what I need to do. It’s useful for brainstorming and process evaluation, so much so that we’ve recently purchased it for our marketing department. It’s a great fit for our company and a 5 start review for whiteboard paint.

Application & Usage

How can I choose the right gain for my setup?

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.

What are the best surfaces for Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint?

Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint can be applied on any smooth, non-textured indoor surface, including plaster, wallboards, metal, wood, concrete, and composites

Can I apply Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint to fabric? 

Yes, this paint can be applied to fixed fabric or used to refurbish existing projector screens. However, it is not suitable for roll-up or retractable screens. 

Surface Prep & Priming

Do I need to prime the surface before applying Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint?

Yes. For the best results, it is recommended to prime the surface first. If the surface is bare or untreated, apply two coats of White Primer to create a smooth, even base.

Cleaning & Maintenance

How do I clean the Ultra High Contrast projector screen surface?

Keeping the projector surface in good condition is simple. Just wipe it with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dust or marks.

How do I clean an Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen painted wall?

To remove dust or light marks, wipe the surface carefully with a clean, dry microfiber cloth. For slightly tougher spots, use a damp cloth with water only. Do not use cleaning sprays or pressure when wiping to preserve the projection surface.

Functionality & Performance

What does gain mean in a projector screen?

Gain measures how efficiently a screen reflects light back to the viewer. It is a comparison against a standard reference, typically a matt 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.

Why is gain so important for projection quality?

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.

Does a high gain always improve image quality?

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.

How does Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint maintain 3D projection integrity?

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 Smarter Surfaces paint preserves polarity, thus ensuring the projection remains perfectly aligned for delivering true-to-life 3D visuals.

Safety & Environmental

Does Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint contain isocyanates?

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

What protective gear should I wear while painting?

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.

Is Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint flammable?

No. Ultra High Contrast Projector Screen Paint is certified fire-safe and meets the highest fire performance standards. With a flashpoint above 70°C, it is a safe and reliable choice for homes, studios, event spaces, and professional environments.

Can I apply Ultra High Contrast Grey Projector Screen Paint with people around?

Yes. Ultra High Contrast Grey Projector Screen Paint is safe. It is low-VOC, low-odour, solvent-free, isocyanate-free, and free from PFOA and PFOS, so there is no risk of harmful fumes or irritation. It can be used safely around both children and adults.

Fantastic image
Setting up my new home cinema, I thought long and hard on what type of screen to use, and what would work best with Optoma UHZ 65 UST projector, I chose this paint from Smarter Surfaces. Application is easy with rollers provided and after four coats of projector paint, two base and two top, sanding down between coats, I now have flat, dense grey screen. The projected image is fantastic with natural colour, deep blacks and bright whites, all with no glare. To finish off I used a 50mm matt black Washi tape round the edges and although I say it myself, looks a very professional job!

Great for home cinema
Got this to use with a projector I got for movie nights. It really made a difference to picture quality compared to using just a white wall. Great product.
