AT A GLANCE

Standard wall coatings

Planning values from the Master Installation Guide, revised October 13, 2026. Product-specific instructions take precedence.

Finished coverage
170 sq ft / gal
Approximate area for a standard two-coat system.
Roller application
2 coats
Use a fresh microfiber cover for each coat.
Recoat window
2–4 hours
At 77°F / 25°C and 50% relative humidity.
Airless application
2–4 coats
Build an even finish; confirm your product’s method.

Job conditions

Temperature
Above 50°F / 10°C
Relative humidity
85% maximum
Substrate moisture
Below 15%
Surface temperature
At least 5°F / 3°C above dew point

Material & equipment

Wet / dry film
4 mils wet / approximately 1.4 mils dry per standard liquid coat
Standard airless setup
Approximately 2,000 psi; .017–.021 in tip
Dry to touch
Approximately 1 hour at 77°F / 50% RH
Cleanup
Mild soap and warm water

Coverage varies with surface profile and application losses. Dry to touch is not full cure. Cooler or more humid conditions extend drying; follow the product label and current data sheet.

APPLY WITH CONFIDENCE

Choose your application system.

Standard liquid coatings, DIY powder concentrate and FLOOR have different instructions.

STANDARD LIQUID

Prepare. Prime. Coat.

  • Start with a clean, dry, sound and smooth substrate. Repair defects and remove dust.
  • For drywall and skim-coated walls, the guide specifies two coats of Paint On Screen Primer.
  • Maintain a wet edge. Finish in parallel strokes with about 50% overlap; use horizontal strokes on pre-curved screens.
  • Use the current product instructions for specialty, precious-metal, UST and clear coatings.

DIY POWDER CONCENTRATE

Mix mechanically.

  • This procedure applies to DIY S1 Ultimate Contrast powder concentrate.
  • Blend into one gallon of white water-based paint using a drill-driven mixing paddle.
  • Apply exactly two coats, allowing one hour between coats; target 3–4 mils total dry film.
  • Follow Section 8 for the full mixing sequence and powder-handling precautions.

FLOOR TWO-PART EPOXY

A separate coating system.

  • Mix four parts A to one part B by volume. No induction period.
  • The current FLOOR data sheet lists approximately 130–320 sq ft per gallon per coat, depending on film thickness.
  • Use the dedicated FLOOR documents for preparation, pot life, recoat and traffic times.
  • Read both Part A and Part B safety sheets before mixing.

Surface preparation & final inspection

Skim coats must be fully dry, sanded, dust-free and primed. The Master Guide recommends a Level 5 finish for projection walls, 180–220 grit sanding and a small test patch before coating the full wall.

Inspect for lap lines, ridges, lint, uneven sheen and other defects. After the specified drying and cure times, project a test image from the intended viewing positions. Keep the product, batch, coat count and installation conditions with your project records.

Use the applicable SDS for ventilation, protective equipment and handling. The Master Guide includes additional precautions for old painted surfaces and sanding dust.

UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS

Plan the whole projection system.

Gain & brightness

Gain varies by coating and application. Use the selected product’s published gain in the brightness calculator; a single range does not describe every product.

Viewing angle & uniformity

Check the product’s gain report for the viewing cone. Surface smoothness, coat consistency and projector placement all affect the image across the screen.

Ambient light & room finish

Consider room lighting and reflections from nearby walls and ceilings when choosing a coating. Compare products for your projector and viewing conditions.

Resolution & 3D

A smooth surface helps preserve image detail. Active-shutter and polarized 3D systems have different requirements; confirm compatibility for the exact coating.
