Projection screen paints will enable you to transform any smooth paintable surface into a high performance and affordable projection screen.

They have developed specially formulated projection screen paints that will allow you to use your wall as an effective large projection screen!

The product line 'Screen Goo' consists of a set of specially formulated high reflective acrylic coatings designed specifically for  the projection TV and video industry.

Aimed in particular at the budget restricted home theater, Screen Goo acrylic paints will allow anyone to transform any smooth paintable surface into a quality projection screen.

Goo Systems years of research and development invested in their range of projection screen paints is reflected in the outstanding quality and performance of all their Screen Goo paint products.

Screen Goo is made from the highest acrylic available and contains no filler materials. Its simple application, versatility, quality and variable gain characteristics are remarkable - these characteristics render the Screen Goo products suitable for use both in a professional or home environments.

Full details of the projection screen paints available from Goo Systems are given below.

Please Take Note:

Use of Projector Screen Paints

While Goo Systems do provide detailed specs (gain-performance charts) related to actual projection gain and viewing angle of the different projection screen paints on offer, yet it should be remarked here that the resultant gain and angle of view are somewhat dependent on the top coat texture.

This means that a roller coated surface and a sprayed surface would behave differently, and as such the coating process should be taken into account when choosing the right projection screen paint for your application.

Goo Systems do provide an online product calculator to help you identify the right projector screen paint product for your application, this in addition to the volume of paint required for both the basecoat and the top coat.

If you arrived at this page direct via a Search Engine, we recommended that prior to proceeding with your choice of a suitable screen array and screen fabric, you take a look at our Projector Screen Guides.

These will show you through a step-by-step process, how to choose the right projection screen setup. They also explain the different screen surfaces, and show you how to match the screen gain with the projector output and ambient light.

Screen Goo Projection Screen Paints Product Information

Goo Systems offer three different product lines of projector screen paints  - each available both in a basecoat version together with its corresponding topcoat projection screen paint product.

Goo product lines include:

CRT White: This represent a high gain projector screen paint with a maximum gain of 1.8; screen gain remains above 1 up to a full cone viewing angle of approximately 110 degrees.

Digital Gray: Maximum screen grain of 1.2; screen gain remains above 1 up to a full cone viewing angle of 90 degrees.

Digital Gray Lite:   A derivative of the 'digital gray' projection screen paint, but with a higher screen gain of 1.4; screen gain remains above 1 up to a full cone viewing angle of 90 degrees.

Both the Digital gray and the Digital Lite Gray produces high contrast projector screen surfaces. The perceived high contrast effect is achieved as the gray finish effectively lowers the black levels in the projected image.  

Features include:

Available Screen Goo Coatings: Topcoats: CRT White, Digital Gray or Digital Gray Lite Basecoats: CRT White, Digital Gray or Digital Gray Lite
Recommended for rolled application or spraying. All topcoats require the use of Screen Goo basecoats for proper application.

Finding the right projector screen paint:

The trickiest part when using Screen Goo, is picking the right color for the job, this in view that it is formulated for particular projector types and viewing environments.

If the end result is too dark, lesser powerful projectors produce a dim image. Too light and the image suffers from distracting hot spots or degraded black levels.

For this purpose, Goo Systems has set-up an Product Calculator to help you determine the right Screen Goo for your requirement.

Another challenging aspect of Screen Goo is its application:

Concluding remarks:

With patience and a little practice in applying these coating products, Screen Goo matches and at times, even exceeds the quality of a number of other projector-screen products. Representing good value in terms of cost per square foot, it surely represents an attractive solution to the budget-restricted DIY home theater enthusiast who is looking to transform a wall  - or in that case any other smooth surface - into a projection-quality screen.
