Hi, all.
I've borrowed a projector for the xmas period, and am setting up a temporary home cinema for the kids ( and me! ). The wall is not great as a screen, so I was going to make a simple one. I was going to get a thin sheet of cheap MDF or hardboard, and paint it.
The various AV forums suggest painting the screen material with Dulux "IceStorm 5 or 6", which can be mixed at any shed.
The question is: how best to apply the paint to minimise texturing?
Texturing is OK under diffuse light, but is rather ruthlessly revealed under intense projector light. I've always thought rollers give a rather textured finish, but then again, brushes can leave brush-strokes too. I don't have an air gun, but could possibly borrow one. ( cue horrid orange-peel effects from inexperienced air-brusher. ) I am also suspicious that 'regular' emulsion paints will not work well in an air gun, for reasons unspecified. Bung them up, or something?
Which would you do: brush or roller, or air gun?
