Ultra HD Premium Screen Paint (Quart)

I bought a quart of Ultra HD premium screen paint for a new screen I just installed in my basement. The screen is a 131" 16 x 9, so a little larger than the description stated 2 coats would cover, but I decided to do a good coat of primer and flat white paint first thinking that would allow me to cover with just a quart of this paint. Well that worked just. I have a tiny amount left for touch up's even. I rolled my screen using a 10" 12mm nap roller, and kept it in a bag between coats so not to waste paint reloading the roller. I tested my screen at each stage of preparation as I was trying to remove as many imperfections as possible. So I got to see how my projected image looked on just white drywall primer, then flat white ceiling paint, and then on the Ultra HD. So I can state that this paint is a massive improvement over a flat white paint. The colours and clarity pop off the screen, especially after I added my black frame and black paint outside the screen. I can't stress the surface prep enough. Aim for as flat, smooth and free of marks, dents, scratches that you can. The work there will pay you dividends with the final result. I spent many more hours preparing my screen surface than putting this paint on. Hence my 3 star for ease of install, as I believe that preparation is essential, and the tin also says to do that. Applying the paint was easy. I did that prior to attaching my frame to allow me to roll over where the screen edges would be and avoid having to try to cut in with a brush. I applied two coats, using verticle rolling stokes. I overlapped each by 50% and did the first coat left to right then the second right to left. I masked my screen with paper when painting the black, sticking the tape to my wood frame as I did not want to risk sticking masking tape to my freshly painted screen. I have found just a couple of small more reflective shiny spots after all was dry with bright scenes, and I very gently matted those down using 220 grit pro sand paper... Very gently removing the shine off those spots. These spots occurred over areas I had worked additionally on during prep to remove bumps... So I suspect my under finish there was a little different to the rest of the screen. But now it's almost perfect and I'm very pleased, I don't see any shiny spots anymore in brightly moving scenes. The picture quality is outstanding... And I'm only projecting 1080p 24hz My screen has the real big screen cinema feel I was going for. I highly recommend this paint. Those saying this is just a white paint did not do the comparison. Those complaining of reflections did not do enough surface prep or have too many bright surfaces around their screen. I agree it is an expensive paint, but compared to buying a good screen the size of mine, I think it's quite well priced. Edit: for full disclosure I recently added a good third coat to my screen, rolled horizontally in one direction per the directions. I have been more aware that my screen could use the extra coat, likely because I had to stretch the previous two with my screen being larger that the area one quart was recommended for. The results after this third coat are fantastic... even better again, and flawless. I couldn't be more pleased either the result, and continue to highly recommend this paint. But for sure you need at least two decent coats, so if your screen is larger than the quoted max size for two coats out of quart, you will need more than a quart for best results.

This paint works great in our family theater room! It shows the picture of games or movies really well! Well worth the money! I definitely recommend this product.

Painted it onto a light coloured wall - and very much improved the clarity of the image - we have maps and text as part of our work projected onto the wall, and video conferencing - so much clearer, that we don't have to totally darken the room.

Typically don’t leave reviews, but this stuff is awesome. We had the projector just on our wall with normal white paint and this stuff is so much better no reflection or glare, the room doesn’t have to be very dark to see the screen well. Wasn’t clumpy or anything went on really good and smooth just made sure I shook it up at Lowe’s before I started painting. Glad I bought this!

Best bang for your buck, great product
