A really really bright reflective color. But it will suck for 2D as it will be too bright and hotspot.

Alanwest09872,

I went to Home Depo and got my paint. Its made for this and was only $25 for a gallon. I didnt even use half of it to make my 150" Widescreen wall.

Below are the paint details. You can just go in Home Depo and ask for "Silver Screen"

The Paint:
Behr "Silver Screen" (770E-2) mix using Ultra Pure White (UPW) flat latex

Generic Formula of Behr SS:
1 gallon flat white latex base
20/48ths of Lamp Black
20/48ths of Raw Umber (a dark, murky yellow/orange-based pigment)
2/48ths of Red


Thanks!

Also... Make sure you take the time to do the prep work. If you don't, it won't come out very good.

I spent one whole day with just sanding, priming and making sure the sqaure I was making was the perfect size for my projector.

After the painting was completed, I framed it out using wood modeling that I got from Home Depo as well.
