How to apply Goo Rear Projection Paint

Screen Goo Rear Projection is a single bottle spray only solution with no primer required. Sprayed on a suitable substrate to create an excellent Rear Projection screen, with a good image on both sides. 

Suitable substrates include Glass, Plexiglas, Polycarbonate fabric, Lexan/Polycarbonate in Clear (fully transparent) or slightly Tinted varieties up to 6mm though some have used 10mm.

​

The further away the projector is from the acrylic/glass the sharper the picture, because there is less refraction through the substrate. The thickness of the substrate also comes into play with the refraction

​

As Goo RP is an acrylic paint it bonds well to acrylic sheet. The trick is removing it, however this works to our advantage for projected water features etc.

​

Remember to use a surgical alcohol or similar to remove the residue from the protective film that would have been attached to the acrylic at the factory. If you have a choice between cast and extruded acrylic, choose the cast to minimise stress lines especially if the acrylic is being curved.

​

Goo RP cures over time to a very hard surface, and has been used with front projection to preserve the screen when its exposed to footfall and the like.
