Projection Screen Painting Process In Less Than 3 Minutes
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 авг 2024
- After a recent purchase of a projector for my video production business I quickly learned that the quality of your picture is highly based off the screen its projected on. After a few hours of trying to decide should I get a screen or should I paint the screen on the wall and call it a day. While comparing prices of all the latest HD & 4K technology I was shocked to find what this pre mixed gallon of GOLD cost. With Prices topping out at well over $800 for just one gallon of this stuff I needed to dig deeper to find out whats actually in this professional grade screen paint? If your in the same position I was then you need to watch this short video. I produced this video just to pass on what I learned simply because the blend of these 3 different paints worked amazingly, but most importantly the total project cost minus the projector was under $40. This special blend of paint can be picked up from your local Home Depot with the paint numbers I provided in this video.. If you find this video helpful be sure to hit the LIKE button. And by all means SUBSCRIBE!!
Saved me around 700$ possibly more.
Went to home depot and gathered all the listed paints. Used your formal of...
Half of the silver screen gallon.
The full tester bottle 8oz of dark pewter
And instead of 1/4 black i used 3/8th quart. Maybe a tad less.
For anyone watching write down the info on the cans themselves. Include the matte and semi gloss and how its described on the can not just the color. Include the base number and such.
This paint on my 4k, 3d, 7000 lumen projecting works fantastically. I can really see the difference from going from an eggshell white wall to this strange dark bluish grey color. Beautiful color to paint an entire wall with.
You sir saved me around 700$ for what this appears to be giving me. The blacks are very black, and the colors really just POP.
In my own opinion... Anyone with a projector with around 2000-3500 lumen will be able to use the formula of 1/4 quart black. For people around 5k-6k lumen add a little more black. Brighter projectors like 7000 or over should probable use 3/8. Adjust accordingly.
Hope this helps whoever's looking to improve their viewing pleasure.
Hello, thanks for your comment, I'm from Argentina and that brand of paintings do not exist here, so I would like to know if you can tell me what type of paint is each one and in what proportions the mixture is made ( I bought a Xgimi Lune UST 1080p with 2700 ansi lumens (and I'm projecting 110 inches ), its better the grey that the white?,I hope you can help me thanksss
can i watch movies in your house? 😁
how well does it perform with lights on?
Hi Sam,
I am about to setup my home theater. but i don;t have a media room so it needs to be setup in the gameroom and that means fairly well lit room. at night its not an issue but during day time there's significant daylight. planning to put black curtains on the entry way.
that said. will a daker gray mix be better for my room condition due to brightness of the room coupled with walls are satin neutral white color and that adds lot of light when the scenes are very bright its like the whole rooms is lit up.
please suggest what kind of mix would be better for me given your experience. also i am considering painting my walls what kind of color do you suggest.
thanks for help.

Your saving 700 hundred dollars and are projecting 5000 lumens at 4K? If budget is a concern, you should NEVER own a home theater quality projector. Buy an LG 86" 4K TV and save even more. (2000 dollars) Stop with painting walls to save money. How about a gray crayola crayon or marker. I'm looking to get into a Rolls Royce but, I saved money on the engine. I put a 1993 Honda Civic engine in it and painted the car with spray paint from Home Depot. Wow
Your a genius..I was using a white wall and then I saw your video..went to home depot and this rest is history..everyone wants to charge an arm and a leg to get rich leaving out those who cant afford simple "paint" mix its people like you that can give back and help people enjoy quality after a hard days work we just want to watch a movie and relax thanks sir you are a modern day Robin hood those who hate on you are writing down your recipe as of right now
Thanks Sadiki its good peeps like yourself that keep me doing the things that I enjoy. Thanks for your comment my friend. Please be sure to subscribe to see future projects. Have a great day.
Yeah i despise that crystal edge 4k guy that has 4 youtube accounts and acts like a company to sell paint mixes for hundreds of dollars..
Skyview Productions great work and Very fitting compliment from Sadiki !
SADIKI not all hero's wear capes..Love this idea!!!
Check my comment. It has all the info you need on creating the paint color.
The recipe:
Dark pewter 8 fl oz
Black 0.25 quart
Silver Screen 0.5 gal
...or in the same units of measure:
Dark pewter 8 fl oz
Black 8 fl oz
Silver Screen 64 fl oz
So the easier way to measure this out: first put in the dark pewter 8oz into mixing bucket. Then pour black into the 8oz can, then pour that into mixing bucket. Follow same idea for silver screen paint, but do that 8 cans of it (8*8=64oz).
Cheers.
So you have 8 and 8 in the mixing bucket. Are you then mixing the full 64 into the bucket also? Thanks in advanced
Just got done with this mix had to buy a quart of the pewter instead of sample. I used the semi-gloss behr premium plus and measured around 8onces of both black and pewter with half silver screen. Home depo stopped giving semi gloss samples near me. This mix is the real deal and is amazing. No streaks! Amazing with ambient light and colors pop with true blacks. Thank you!

15 dislikes by the re sellers who use the same paint blend and put their own expensive brand name on it. Keep up the good work man .
Even more for the shitty ass quality picture it produced
I’ve painted many screens over the years, and this mix is by far the best I’ve used yet. Wow wow! Thx man!
Thanks buddy
what was the mix portions ???
So is this grey mix color better than a black wall?
Levi Jesse darker can be better outdoors with more ambient light. You trade off in that case for your brighter colours. That is why there are metalics mixed in. To be mor reflective to mitigate losses in the brighter tones.
@@gwaaiedenshaw8310 whats best for indoors with absolutely zero ambient lighting?
I used this exact mix based on this video. Works great...highly recommended!

Hi buddy, I saw this video and I already bought a screen for a $100 bucks and I really wasn’t happy with it so I tried bought the 3 products from behr as you suggested and sure enough I was happy 1/2 way through the painting the wall thank you so much I’m a diy guy and I appreciate this much more thanks again buddy!!
Great I hope you subscribed to my channel
Thanks for the video... the screen came out amazingly good.

Can you give a better description? You have 2 different paints but mix them and don't go I to detail on ratios or anything.
i always use the rustoleum metallic accents paint in pewter, amazing in full daylight and about $30 a quart
What is the recipe you use for using the rustoleum metallic paint?
@@jimsandberg2000 just the paint as it comes in the can, they have pewter and like a goldish color, both work great
@@jblaze114 Thanks
Do you add the rustoleum in place of the Behr pewter, and mix with the silver screen and black, or are yo usaying 100% Rustoleum Metallic accent paint?

@Sam Grim Could you please repeat your comment. It is definitely no longer present on "Projection Screen Painting Process In Less Than 3 Minutes" by Skyview Productioons, and from what everyone else has said, it was perhaps the most helpful single comment on RUclips.

so many con artists selling snake oil on here.... thank you for being honest with people and saving everyone ALOT of money.
I used white screen paint from amazon for my 177 inch screen in my basement, I got a gallon and I only used half of it, it was pretty expensive, not crazy expensive. It worked beautifully. I use the xgimi horizon pro 4k. A quality screen for this size would be way out of my budget.
Brother, can you write to me the method and ingredients you used? Please, brother, write to me the ingredients. Your brother is from Egypt
Thank you. It works great for my LG HU810PW 4K laser projector.
Thank you so much! You have saved me a ton of money as well. I was looking at projector screens and different brands of screen paint, all are quite pricey, which I don't mind if you get good results. After reading the comments of these products I didn't feel comfortable making a purchase. I found this video, the comments were positive so I gave it a try. Well I couldn't be happier, the colors are amazing and the screen looks professionally done.

We gave this a whirl and have been super impressed. Thank you so much for sharing your information. It saved us a ton of cash. Thankyouthankyouthankyou.
A big thumb up man! you deserve this for your work and helping people!
If you like what you see here but don’t want to go through the trouble of running out to your local Home Depot and mixing up the paint yourself, let me handle everything for you. Private message me your screen dimensions and only pay for what you need. Don’t be fooled by the high dollar screen paint you don’t always get what you pay for.
Skyview Productions what is the mix ratio of each paint
If you look for my comment I mention the formula thoroughly.
Hey man, I havescreen size od 130 inches wide and I would like to paint the whole wall. Please send me your paint type and all if you can. Really appreciated !
Actually I like how you did your wall. I would like to do the exact
@@samgrim4405 your comment isnt there anymore
VERY NICE SILVER SCREEN COLOUR
What's the mix ratio
I'm totally going to use this because I've been shopping around for screen paint
Same question for me. He was just mixing them bit by bit without showing it.
I showed this video to the home depot paint tech and they mixed it for me right on the spot . Used this mix on a black out cloth stretched over a homemade oil canvis painting frame turned out amazing at 110 " .
Pew 8 oz
Black 8 oz
Silver 64 oz
What is the amount of each paint that you used
Great video. I have a question though, I just went to home depot and could only find silver screen paint. Is it okay to just use silver screen or is the mixed palette required?
What would be Sherwing Williams Dark Pewter version? I can't find it!
What if i have the white fabric screen? Can i paint that and will it work?
Would you recommend painting the entire wall with that blend?? Please respond. It will greatly help. Thanks...
Personally I wouldn’t. But you could.
How the heck did you get so many likes and few dislikes? You never explained the actual blend ratio you just showed how to paint a square on a wall.
Did you see the final result ? This is result of all the dislikes
The 3 differents paints are added by equal quantities? I want a 120-150 inches screen! Thanx
I see you brushed/sanded the wall? Was that to knock off texture or just to clean debris off?
Excellent. Good job. 👍👍👍
I have a RCA 2200 lumens projector how many coats do I need to put on for 120" ? Also I went to home Depot and got all 3 paints according to the number on the front of each can but the quart was not black inside it is white and neither was the other small can and there was no label on the top of the cans. What did I do wrong?
what were the mixture ratios used to create the final product? without that info the video isn't useful.
C Stilwell did you ever find out the ratios? I just bought all three paints but have no clue where to begin. He free hands this in the video but does not provide a measurement for each blend.
@@taj2b0 The ratio is in the first comment from @sam grim.
Thanks a lot for your video, i'm going to try this at home for sure! Would you mind to tell me what kind of roll did you use? foam one?
Maxence Mounier I believe I did use a foam or for smooth finish roller. Enjoy it my friend. Please be sure to subscribe for future videos.
@@skyviewproductions Would you skim coat mud and sand smooth finish next time or the previous wall texture with the new paint overtop okay?
That what I was looking for Thanks a lot
Super cool. Nice quality pic.
What's the measurements? The 1 gal and quart and sample all mixed together? Any help greatly appreciated!
Can I pain an old vintage projector screen and restore it?
Thank you very much after watching videos and videos, I found your video with all the paintings you use, and I just need to find the exact portions, stop looking for them or make several samples, greetings from Monterrey Nuevo Leon Mexico ..... .
did you use all the paint? if not what mix did you use ,ie half of one half of other bit of one more of other.any help would be much appreciated
just want to get it right
thx
I dont seem to find the quantities you used for thia screen. Or yoi just mixed everything together?
Home Depot....buy the gallon of silver screen and an 8oz sample of pewter and an 8oz sample of flat black. Behr paint.
@@skrodgers68ify if i want to add crystal powder how much would i have to add your mix
Thanks so much for sharing, it was a huge help and a huge savings.

Skyview Productions done
Excellent thought..
Hi Skyview I liked your video and way to save money on projector screen. I am completely new in projector world and want to buy a projector and a screen, but after watching your video it seems like I can save some bucks on projector screen at least. Thanks for making this video. Just one question can We do the same way paint on foldable manual screen, please suggest ?
Hello,
I write from Argentina.
And in what proportions is the mixture made?
Thank you
Hello, I love your video, I'm from Argentina and that brand of paintings do not exist here, so I would like to know if you can tell me what type of paint is each one and in what proportions the mixture is made ( I bought a Xgimi Lune UST 1080p with 2300 ansi lumens, and I'm projecting 110 inches ), its better the grey that the white?,I hope you can help me thanksss
Preguntaste hace dos años así que quizás ya resolvíste, pudiste averiguar algo?
En cuanto a blanco vs gris, el color obscuro absorbe más luz que el blanco, lo cual hace que la imagen no sea tan brillosa, pero que posea más contraste, o sea los negros van a ser más negros y se van a diferenciar más de otros colores como el gris. Está bueno para cuando miras una peli a obscuras. Si es para proyectar de día conviene más una pantalla blanca
i turned the speed to 2 and he did it in less than 1.5 minutes
Es cierto que está pintura gris es lo mismo como si fuera una pantalla me gustaría qué tipo de pintura es y dónde comprarla
Brilliant, I knew someone had to have hacked the system.. Your a boss my friend
Hi What's the ratio of the 3 types in your silver bucket? Thanks.
Did you find out the ratios ???? I need them
@@AlexPerez-cu7jh lol it's in the video. but you he doesn't list them very well. they are...
Dark pewter 8 fl oz
Black 8 fl oz
Silver Screen 64 fl oz = 0.5 gallon
@@jpmorgan187 thx!!!
@@jpmorgan187 so it is 8 8 64? Because that makes a little over a gallon. 64 by its self is exactly 0.5 gallons
Should make 0.56 gallons correct?
So thisll probably get deleted... But I'll throw it out there.
Unless you need help with ambient light, I wouldn't do this mix. I first tried silver screen alone, which wasn't bad! Then half silver screen, the 7oz pewter, and roughly 4 oz of the black because I knew 7oz would be even darker. Wanted to post this before the one blabbering idiot replies 'see my already posted comment' when someone is just genuinely asking how to mix it.
I was hoping with the pewter being semi gloss, maybe it'd be better? But even with a uhd35 and p700hd, both light cannons, it's fairly dim.
Now I will say! For ambient light it fights it pretty alright! Almost a poor man's flexigrey, but less gain. Which without measuring, I'd figure this is .5 or .6. its that dim compared to flexigrey
I wish I didn't try this after reading the op saying he had some no name projector. Or really provide much results. But thankfully it's just 50$ in the bin
Tl;Dr it's okay? If you HAVE to go paint, either silver screen alone for ambient light, or Sherwin Williams extra white for light controlled rooms.
But if you can do a screen? The 70$ 100$ elite screens pulldown is fantastic, and flexigrey is great too!
Hay man nice mix do you think it could work with a ultra short throw projector
I can't find your comments on the exact mixture you used, can you please send it to me or direct me on where to find it. Thanks
The trend these days seems to be geared towards very dark/black paint. What are you thoughts? could more black be added to this mix?
Check my comment. It has all the info you need
HI I just see Video and he showing Mixing white paint with two other paint .But he show only few white paint mixing with other two ... so Do I need to mix full gallon of White paint with other paint .. so can you help me to write down mixing procedure .
Hi Joe - nice work, can you please tell me what is your screen size and out of 1 gallon, 1 quart and a sample, how much did you use from each for the blend?
Sorry for such a delay my screen size was 120in I mixed half of the full Gallon the entire sample bottle and the quart was about 1/4 . When I was done I added a bit more from the gallon can just to lighten up the wall as it was a bit to gray for my Taste. I hope this helps.
No Problem. Thanks.
If you make another batch, save a little and take it back to Home Depot and get a color match. They will give you a sticker with the exact colorant formula. That would be great if you were to post that. Thanks
I know this is an old video...but can you give the Ratio you mixed the paint so we can reproduce it? also...would this work if painted on a fabric screen or only on a wall?
Jinx Canada I’m currently out of town so I don’t have this information at the time. However I believe someone else asked and I answered in a previous message. This paint is only intended to be applied to the wall. I hope this helps. Good luck my friend.
Check my comment. It has all the info you need
sam grim i must not be seeing the comment where the formula is can you help
@@cheercoachdee 3rd comment from the top in the main comments part. Look for the purple icon .
I couldn't see the middle can that well; Is it the same as the gallon of of the first can of paint?
That's an awesome looking screen! The colors are great. What would that mix ratio be? I just painted mine but it was too dark for my cheap projector. Can you please help me out so i can get it right ?
Craig L I actually had the same issue so all I did was add more of the white to the mix to tone it down to your preferred color .
Hi, what type of Projector is required to have 4K screen resolution or just a 4K Painting will give us the similar resolution
but everything iv read has said to ONLY use grey screen if you are in a poor light controlled enviornment.. wouldnt you want white for a the best possible picture quality in the best light conditions? Anyone with experience able to tell me otherwise? - SIDE NOTE: im really impressed with that picture quality everything pops nicely
thank you your my man
Yes .....thank you ! Wow
Do you have a mix to use if white is the desired color and not grey? I need a screen gain of about 1.4 in my setup. Thanks!
Check my comment. It has most the info you need.
Based on the mixed ratio given in the video, the color is kind of dark grey. I notice the finalized color is slightly lighter than it should be, and that happens to be the color I prefer. Should I just reduce the mix ratio of the black? Thanks.
Dong Yes that’s exactly what I ended up doing off video.
Thanks for confirming!
Just trying to figure out why you didn't paint the whole wall the same colour. when the projector is off a black square looks way worse than a grey wall.
Jason Leo it was difficult enough to get my wife to do this than it would of been to paint a wall that she recently painted.🤪
Nice job. Looks great!
Im sure it's posted in the comments. But Can anyone tell me the ratio needed to create the screen paint... Please!
I just installed my projector this weekend. My wall is currently painted tan so I really like the idea of using your method. My wall has a orange peel texture on it. Should I do anything special to it prior to painting or will it be OK the way it is?
Jeremy Keefer i would definitely smooth the wall out first
Jeremy Keefer i would definitely smooth the wall out first
i can't figure this out either (how much of which). from what i understand, you only used 1/2 gallon of the white paint? and 1 small of the pewter and 1/4 of the quart of black... so if i want to do an entire wall, i need 1/2 of the black and 2 of the pewter is that correct? i am painting over medium blue, should i use primer first (although the white already says paint and primer)?
Hi Eva, I am in the same situation, can you share what did you end up doing?
Yes a white primer is a good idea in you're starting out white a dark color like blue.
The ratios of paints are:
Dark pewter 8 fl oz
Black 8 fl oz
Silver Screen 64 fl oz = 0.5 gallon
In my experience it takes about 32 oz to paint 80 square feet, which is a wall that's 10ft by 8ft. I am planning to do two coats, then 64 oz of total paint should be good. This above recipe has a total of 80 oz, so that should be good.
appreciate your video, however you keep saying in here "Check my comment it has all you need". but I along with many others can not seem to find how much of each color of paint to mix together! what is the formula? or what parts are adjustable? thank you in advance.
He replys only to chosen ones
So is this grey mix color better than a black wall?
Im confused are you supposed to use behr 1050 pure white or behr silver screen matte? In the video the can says pure white but the sticker says silver screen and they are different color codes..is that some sort of half and half im so confused.
The pure white matte is the base that the color is mixed into.
What quantity of each paint you used?
Interesting you used gray
The receipe is not clear. Do yo mix all the paint, I mean the total quantity of the 3 different colors?
The guy is a moron, each for other videos.
Is this paint combination good for 2500 luminous projector

Can this be done on a cement wall also?
The texture of the wall matters. Having an uneven surfice will take away the picture quality. A smooth even surface is preffered. Yes it would work... But not well.
Good job
How much of the black paint did you use? of how much of the silverscreen?
Pew 8 oz
Black 8 oz
Silver 64 oz
Hi , anyone have the equivalent for this mix in the UK , and what ratio , thanks
Marc Godfrey Hi , I have exactly the same question , it's kinda like there's no specifics ! I think it depends on the shade weather lighter or darker .. Eye monitoring , but in my opinion THE DARKER IT GETS THE BETTER ITS REFLECTS .
I have had a great way tried it on many projects that requires a dye testing before I ruin everything , start painting a different shades of the colors (i.e. From light to dark grey) then test them all at once using your projector , look at the differences which one is giving you the best reflection . GOOD LUCK 🤓
Can you use this mix on a retractable projector screen?
Not needed
Can it?
How much paint do you mix of each one
Awesome
Manuel Dehoyos thanks buddy
What are the proportions you're using
Did you mix all the paints together to make it all one can of paint?
