Smarter Surfaces Black Projector Screen Paint 4.5m² | HD 4K 8K Projections for Home Theater & Gaming | For Laser and Ultra Short Throw | Designed for Dark Rooms (Gain Value 0.1)

I have used both Smart Projector Paint and Smart Projector Paint Pro on a surface approx 130 inches and settled on the former. Firstly, like some others have experienced, one 750ml can was not enough to cover 4.5 square metres let alone the 6 square metres with two coats advertised and I used a tradesman. The Pro 950ml can fared better in coverage although why the more generous disparity I don't know. There certainly is no allowance made for wastage that a non-tradesman may require. One litre cans should be considered by the company. Secondly, the company video instructs 1-2 hours between coats. The box instructions say approx 2 hours and the can itself 4-6 hours. The company needs to make up its mind. Unlike the Pro, you don't get a primer can with the Projector Paint which defeats the "budget version" incentive if you happen to want it.The difference between the two paints is subtle but I would say the Projector Paint has a slightly more greyer white and fares better during the day with curtains drawn. If you have a lower lumen projector or simply want a bright picture with phosphorous whites then the Pro may suit you better. Both white paints are more for corporate clients in high ambient light. The Projector Paint Contrast the company recommends for integrated home theatre with darkened walls is a very dark grey that I had to squint to see the image on using their test card. It goes against the standard theatre advice of a white screen for dark walls and a grey screen for higher ambient light.The photos were taken using a Samsung Galaxy A10 of an Optoma DLP HD29Hst 4000 Lumens projector in a small room at night with no blacked out walls and are brighter than the eye perceives the actual image. The Lena Headey photo has been adjusted to be a little closer to how your eye will actually see the paint perform. There is probably nothing new in terms of pigments. What you are paying for is someone's trial and error I suppose.

The image I've attached is from Dr. Strangelove (the projected image here is probably 8.5 or 9 ft in length), projected w a 3500 lumen projector onto our wall at home at night. This projector paint DID help, though we had to be really careful. We primed the wall, did a first coat in plain white paint (matt), then painted using this projector paint. We did only the bit above the sofa (this stuff is so expensive and the tin is small). You can see that it's different when painting it (looks a bit like liquid white glitter eyeshadow), but it does not glitter or shine in the daylight when we're not projecting. We had enough for one very liberal coat, but *not* two. I'm super happy w our results at the cost of 1 tin of paint, but would have been very sad if we'd had to use two tins bc the improvement over projecting onto a plain white wall might have been minimal.I believe that this product promises a gain of +1.0, meaning the wall now reflects the amount light from the projector (or more), rather than absorbing it. We do get an effect of 'reflected light' at ours... a cinema effect. I don't know that I would have paid for a second tin to get this effect, though.

The media could not be loaded. Only received one can of paint. The can with the primer is missing. Very disappointing.

SmarterSurfaces projector screen paint -pro was purchased for home cinema wall in preference to a fixed screen . The results are fantastic . Easy to apply - pack comes with two rollers with primer and final finish coat .Watching the Blu-ray , TV , Sky, Xbox or Wii is no different in quality than our 4K TV .Very impressed with final image - see photos . Customer Service and support is excellent.Highly recommended .

750ml of paint is not enough to properly paint (with roller) two coats.

Bit on the expensive side but worth it. 750ml is more than enough. Unless you try to paint the whole wall.

I bought this paint as I was projecting onto a wall with a picture size of 120 inches. At £78 (for two tins) for enough paint to cover the surface with 3 coats, I figured this would be a cheaper option than buying a screen and also, screens of that size have rather large unsightly roller cases which would take up quite a lot of space at the top of my currently pristine wall.We had previously projected on to high opacity trade white emulsion. We left a small band either side when we applied the new paint so we could make a comparison. I can definitely say that the new paint is whiter and brighter than the trade emulsion, but at four tines the price, once the image is projected, I can't honestly say that I (or my wife) can see any discernible difference. Our projector is true HD in the 600 pounds cost bracket. I can't say we are unhappy with the picture quality, not as bright as a TV obviously but we have traded image intensity for size (a good trade off). My issue is that this seems essentially like expensive white emulsion.

Very pleased with this product
