cinescope screen material - Blu-ray Forum

has anyone ever used a metal screen, reason i ask is i can get 4x10 sheet of prepainted aluminum in virtually any color , and it is very flexible for doing say a 2.35:1 screen was wondering how well it would do with a projector cuz when you hold a news/mag. print up to it it reads easily. you can also get in flat colors like flat grey.

no idea, but if it HOLDS paint (which I'm sure it does) then I'd just get it in a white (basically for purposes of being a primer) and then use one of the Screen Paint "Recipes" that have been used with success by others.

Don't see why a painted sheet of aluminum would be different than a wall painted

As long as there is no texture in it.

the metal comes pre-colored in gloss or flat finish and is very slick and shiny, how does a curved screen work if your projecting 16:9 images, and do you need an xtra lens , i've settled on the jvc rs-10 projector and a 130" stewart screen unless this will be "as good" as i can't handle a premade cinecurve.

the metal i used to fabricate racecar bodies , i used to race dirt late model , a 4x10 sheet is about $65.00 , i think a company called wrisco makes , just check around where you live for a racecar fabrication shop.

might be safer (since others have done it with success) to just go the Wilson-art designer White laminate
