Make a Projector Screen

So you've made the right choice and have your excellent pot of Scream. What now?

If you have a nice new sexy smooth wall, all you need to do is follow the painting steps below, If you don't have a wall suitable or want a projector screen outside. Then making your own screen is easy........

Step 1 - Choose your Substrate

MDF - Perfectly Flat

One of the benefit's of Scream paint is the option for durable screens in high traffic public areas, where damage may occur. For screens in these high traffic areas one option is MDF for its strong composition. MDF is also perfect for a floating frameless screen to really impress.

Plasterboard

If your screen is for home and you intend framing it, then Plasterboard is a lighter option. Just remember to use the central flat panel and remove the contoured edges we show above. Indoors only people.

Cement board - outdoor screens

Live in a war zone or Kids a bit on the wild side, look at Cement Board. Ideal for outdoor cinema screens.

Step 2 - Cut to Your Desired Size

Cut Down to Size

Ok if you dont know how to do this then, maybe you need a friend to help.

Step 3 - Surface Preparation

Clean Away Dirt and Dust

Before painting check the surface for dirt and dust. If necessary wipe down MDF and cement board with Methylated spirits. It evaporates fast and leaves no residue.

Weapon of choice - Gloss Roller

While Scream is formulated to lay flat, a gloss roller (the cheapest) is preferable to wool and will smooth things along nicely.

First Seal the surface

This is a must do. Naked boards will suck up paint all day long, unless they are sealed. Warning: Do Not paint Scream directly onto naked boards. First seal the substrate with a good water based sealer binder. MDF and Plasterboard are heavy drinkers, and may need two or three shots. Coat and leave the required time to dry, as stipulated by the manufacturer. Dont rush. Add additional coats untill the board is a solid white with no patches - this is Important Try not to over load the roller. It should rotate freely rather than skid over the surface. Unhurried vertical strokes will avoid 'splatter' and should be finished off with a single vertical roll in one direction from the top of the screen to the bottom - for every coat.

Step 4 - Top Coat with Scream Paint

Mix your Screen Paint well

Start with a good shake and a stir. If it aint mixed right it wont work right. Using a new roller use the same technique as before. Imagine the surface divided into stripes and work systematically left to right over the whole area. The aim is to apply the paint evenly and always work from a 'wet' edge. The edges need to be blended in to avoid leaving a ridge of paint. Ideally try to roller at a cool part of the day, this will give you more time. On cool days you will be able to roller the whole surface left to right before the paint begins to dry. On hotter days divide the screen in to narrower sections and complete each section as above. On a sealed surface Scream will cover approximately 16m²/L
