Wall paint instead of a projector screen - which colour?

[Ext User(Jim Kelly)]

The desire to have an uncluttered lounge room leads one to ponder
the merits of painting the whole wall suitably for projector use.

Anyone experimented with the paints that are readily available in
Australia??

Money saved on a screen could be spent on a brighter projector
with a better contrast ratio to compensate for the painted wall
not being optimal . . .

Thanks for your thoughts, experience.

Hi Jim,

I have experimented with a combination of the following paints, all found at Bunnings
Using a matt roller, not foam.
Step 1: Three coats of the following mix of : 10% Dulux ceiling paint, brilliant white code number 615??1949 (paint dripped over code), 40% Dulux Metallic Effects 69084895 and 50% Dulux clear coat Matt clear 69084893.

This went straight onto a white wall, the screen size being approx 4 metres x 2metres.

I am using a Panasonic ceiling mounted pj that is approx 5 metres away from the screen.

I will take some photos and post
regards
