Anyone had luck with paint on screens like "Screen Goo"?

I'm still using my original painted screen I made more than 10 years ago and love it. Gain is around 1.1-1.2.

I have used painted screens. It depends on what you want to do and how much effort you want to put into it. The best resource for screen info is over at HTshack.

It also stinks to high heaven and is marginally safe for a DIYer to paint on.

My favorite screen to date was a 1.3 StudioTech Second to that was a Behr Ultra white in flat.
