User Operation Guide
Congratulations on the purchase of your ABtUS Projection Screen Paint. Soon you will be enjoying the
benefits of the perfect projection screen for your specific situation. It is important that you carefully follow
each step of the instructions on the following pages. You also need to have a little bit of patience for the
next few hours. Because of the drying time that is required for the different layers of paint, you might easily
need eight hours to apply the product. (Of course, you can do the first steps today and continue later.)
This package contains:
MagneCoat, BaseCoat, ContrastBooster for BaseCoat, TopCoat, BrightnessBooster for TopCoat,
3 stir sticks, roller pan, paint roller, 1 small roller cover for the MagneCoat, 2 large roller covers for
the BaseCoat and the TopCoat, masking tape, sandpaper, MagneBorder, knife, metal triangle.
Special Note:
A synthetic surface cannot absorb any liquid. While drying, temporary air bubbles may appear in the paint
that has been applied. Do not touch them. They will disappear by themselves as the paint dries.
- Absorbency
If the wall is very absorbent, you should first treat it with a pre-paint coating. (The amount that
you need will be determined by the type of surface)
- Dirt
If the wall is very dirty (for example, smoke stains, water stains) you will first have to treat it
with a good stain-blocking paint.
- Dark
If the surface is very dark you will first have to treat it with a standard white wall paint.

Tips
Inspect the wall closely and repair
any small irregularities, scratches
or holes. Then sand the wall lightly
to even it out.
- Walls with a synthetic finish:
If your wall or surface has a very smooth synthetic finish, you must first apply an adhesive layer
so that the Mighty Brighty paint system can adequately adhere to the wall. Walls made of particle
board or MDF should be thoroughly cleaned with turpentine or paint thinner. You must also apply
an adhesive layer to these walls.
The surroundings:
Make sure that the area and surface that will be painted are free of dust and that no air circulation
system is on (for example: air conditioning, fan). This ensures that no dust will stick to the wet
wall while the paint is being applied.
The temperature:
The ABtUS paint system can best be applied at a room temperature that is between 15 and 25º
Celsius (59 and 77º F) and with a humidity that is between 40 and 70 percent. A different room
temperature or humidity can require a longer drying and thereby waiting time. (Important: The
paint layers cannot be applied if the room temperature is lower than 5º Celsius (41º F).
The wall (or other surface) upon which the ABtUS paint system will be applied
The ABtUS paint system can be applied on stone, cement, wood, plastic or sheetrock and on all materials
that have already been painted with a normal wall paint. You do, however, have to check the following:
- Flat:
Important: The wall must be flat or flat enough (if you stand 2 or 3 meters (6 or 9 feet) from the
wall it should look flat and even). (See illustration)

The following points require particular attention:
- On the first page of the instructions: This box contains:
This description of the contents of the box refers to the retail packs for consumers; you
must order the tool kit and MagneBorder separately (see above).
- If you/your customer do/does not require a black border, you can skip step 2 and step 5
- Step 3.1: Determining the contrast value, and
- Step 4.1: Determining the brightness value (Gain):
Note: if you mix the Boosters partially in the full buckets and some BaseCoat or TopCoat is left over
afterwards, this will automatically mean that the next screens you paint with the contents of these buckets
will have the same contrast value and brightness value. Of course you can add extra Boosters to the
buckets for the next screens, but it is no longer possible to reduce the contrast value or brightness value.
