Silk Touch 01 Lt Screen Coating (Lunar Gray), Grey

After reading reviews, I ordered this paint to replace my Grey ALR Screen which got damaged recently.The paint color mentioned is Lunar Grey but actually it appears like white at first instance.After reading few comments , I bought black oil paint also to get good contrast and color like my Grey ALR screen but I did not like the result in patch testing so I preferred to keep the original color.Before using this paint, I had painted the wall with base white color .I could not understand what is the difference between that Rs 130/ltr white paint and Rs 650/ltr silk touch at first instance but definitely Silk touch has different quality and texture than regular paint.If you see you won't find anything special in this paint . Yes quality is good but I believe buying a premium color of branded paint can give similar or better result.After painting, it gives a tint of light grey than pure white. Results are good but for that you need to switch off the lights.1 ltr paint is enough for painting a 10x12 single wall 3-4 coats easily with roller however if previous color is not white then it's advisable to first paint it with base white otherwise patchy results will come.At the end , I can say that its not an alternate to projector screen but if you have a big wall and don't want to spend 5-10K in buying a projector screen then this paint is a good option than a regular painted wall.***Update after 2 yrs (Aug 2022): Bought it again for the second time as recently I upgraded the projector from Aun Akey6 to BenQ 1080p DLP projector. First, I thought to buy projector screen but price coming was 10k & 15k for pull down and motorized respectively. So, I thought to use the same wall again and repainted the wall second time after 2 yrs and the results now coming out are really great. I don't know how it would have looked with a projector screen but I am quite satisfied with the quality getting on the wall. I am getting cinema hall like color and contrast. It saved my 15k for now as I am not ready to spend more money over projector screens but maybe sometime in future .Original lunar grey color is giving me super results so I would advise to not mix it with any black/silver color. ALR screen has a reflective coating on it which you can't replicate on wall by mixing black paint.

This paint is almost White even though the description mentions Grey so it's difficult to differentiate when compared with a normal White painted wall. The texture upon application is really good.

Its not white, it is lunar grey. Perfect for rooms with low ambiant light. If you are going for a higher lumens projectors, you need not buy a screen

This paint is not white or Grey it's like between white and Grey, i am not impressed with output for this price, for 600rs you'll get 250-300rs results. Next time i would go with white paint.

I have been using a 120" Carfolet screen, over a custom-made frame. It lasted me the better half of 8 years. Fungus attacked the screen due to some damp coming in.So having looked up reviews on the Internet, I stumbled upon this paint. It is much cheaper than trying to get some of the imported paints. Applied as directed by a good painter and it has been a wonderful experience with a DLP projector. Highly recommended product.

Though claimed to be a Screen Coat, but the product is not, to my experience, very suitable for projection. As a Paint, it may be considered as a good product. There are two major issues. 1. Surface. I finished the wall first, then painted two coats of primer and then applied this paint. To my surprise, being far from my expectation, it came out to be a quite glossy finish. For projection, the screen coat should be of Matte finish. 2. Named as Lunar Grey, it is less than 5% Grey. Almost Pure white. Eventually doesnt give any advantage of Grey screen that needs to be around 12% to 18% grey. I had to add 35 drops of Black stainer in the container.
