Hi everyone
I'm about to dive into making a 100" Black Widow screen on MDF; found the Aluminum paint and the last obstacle seems to be getting the right base paint for the job, as I'm here in Denmark, Scandinavia.
Neither Johnstone's or Dulux seem to be available here, so I'm trying to find a similar paint, which should be fairly easy as far as tinting goes, because the NCS color code should be the same everywhere. But the amount of gloss/sheen seems to be a total secret, and the only technical info I've been able to locate on the prescribed paints (Johnstone's Covaplus Vinyl Matt Finish or Dulux Vinyl Matt) regarding this, is apparently just "Matt" .... boom.
So what's the deal? I know it should be matt and to some degree wipeable, but how much gloss? The scale for this here in Denmark I imagine must be the same as anywhere else, ranging from 1-100, with 5 as the norm for a very matt surface, some even going down to 2, but then usually not very well suited for washing/wiping.
Where are we with this? Anybody know anything?
Thanx in advance!
