RE: zapper - I previewed the Panny 500 at my dealer on a HCCV screen, and frankly, i really didn't that much of a major difference, but that's one mans un-scientific opinion.so take it as that. That should give some perspective of the difference and the removing of the hotspotting too. I'll take one with the plain white gator foam on one side and the painted side on the other. However, I'll try to take some screen snaps this weekend and post sometime Monday. I'll be away on business the next 3 days.

If you do it while it's still wet, you may see hot-spotting.

NOTE: Wait for it to cure enough (about 2 weeks) before judging it.

GatorFoam Board (a foam core artist material used for poster mounting)īehr 'Silver Screen' (770E-2) mix using Ultra Pure White (UPW) flat latexĢ0/48ths of Raw Umber (a dark, murky yellow/orange-based pigment) If you are looking for a quick down-and-dirty screen for your LCD projector, this took approx 3 hours total, most of that time was waiting for the coats to dry. In my opinion, this gives definite contrast enhancement and deeper blacks than plain blackout cloth or the white GatorFoam surface. So, I rolled two coats on a piece of white GatorFoam, and voila, a cheap two coat solution. Light grey, seemed similar to the 'Misty Evening'.

On a lark, I was leafing through the Behr swatches at my local Home Depot, and found the 'Silver Screen' paint.
