I couldnt disagree more. I love our stewart grefox 130. night and day difference. - mmart6545 2008-10-07 21:46:53 (15 views)

are you comparing white paint to a stewart screen, or do an elite screen? - dloftis 2008-10-07 08:14:10 (21 views)

but just because he doesn't have the money for a better screen now doesn't mean he won't have it in - Steve Trac, Sec 303 2008-10-08 05:03:18 (20 views)

how does something like that compare with screen goo? - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-06 10:40:44 (23 views)

Light grey will boost contrast a bit but the GOO stuff will enhance the "punch" since it's able to - freakness AvalonRULZ 2008-10-06 20:12:58 (19 views)

2nd. Use a very light silver, almost white color in eggshell finish - 4Rings::resurrected 2008-10-06 05:58:07 (37 views)

actually now that I think about it it wasn't eggshell, i was pearl finish I think - 4Rings::resurrected 2008-10-06 12:34:12 (29 views)

Some people say it's the same, others say it's more sheen or less sheen... - freakness AvalonRULZ 2008-10-06 20:09:01 (25 views)

Can you clarify again which kind of paint? - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-21 14:52:44 (12 views)

a black frame around a painted screen will go a long way towards improving the perceived contrast - 4Rings::resurrected 2008-10-22 05:36:58 (8 views)

cool, but what type of paint exactly? eggshell? flat? mix? - Avantadrive_Original 2008-10-22 19:05:18 (10 views)

I believe the one I used was called pearl. Get some finish samples, hang them on the wall and shine - 4Rings::resurrected 2008-10-23 05:31:04 (9 views)
