5: Apply a second layer of BaseCoat over the entire area in the same
way. As you do so, pay attention to the following:
- Never go over an area that’salready been painted a second
time with the roller.
Remove the roller from the wall only when it reaches the tape
strip. Do not remove the roller from the wall if it is still on the screen
(this can leave behind a visible mark). (see illustration).
Let this layer dry for at least 120 minutes.
Remove the roller cover and clean the roller thoroughly. Remove
the rest of the paint from the roller pan and clean it completely.
Important: Make sure that absolutely no residue of paint remains
in the roller pan!!! Paint particles can cause problems in applying
the top layer (TopCoat).
6: If you see any uneven spots on the second basis layer, sand
very lightly and very very carefully until they disappear.
(Be careful not to sand too deeply or you will expose the original
surface). Leave the tape on the wall. Use a rag or soft brush te
remove dust from the surface.
Tips
if you turn the projector on
you can easily see any
irregularities or bad spots.

STEP 3: APPLYING THE TOP LAYER
(TopCoat)
- 3.1 Applying the top layer (TopCoat)
- 3.2 Wait for screen to harden
3.1 Applying the top layer (TopCoat)
1: Stir the TopCoat mixture with a new stir stick for at least 3 minutes.
Afterwards close the bottle tightly and shake it well. Pour the
mixture into the clean roller pan (see illustration).
2: Attach a new roller cover to the roller. Make sure the roller is
completely covered with TopCoat and roll it over the surface
of the roller pan to distribute the paint evenly. Apply the TopCoat
over the entire area between the tape strips. Apply the layer
as follows:
Start in the upper lefthand corner. Paint a strip that is about 50
cm wide. Apply the paint evenly. Always start with horizontal
strokes (see illustration a) and then roll the paint on in vertical
strokes without stopping in the middle of a strip
(see illustration b). Always roll the paint on with even and
smooth movements.
Then continue by painting a second strip of about 50 cm. Make sure
that there is a slight overlap with the first strip (see illustration c).
Always apply the paint fully “wet on wet”. For larger areas
(for example, an entire wall), make sure you have a long enough
handle on your roller. Repeat this until the screen area is completely
painted.
Never go over an area that’s already been
painted a second time with the roller. You should
only change the direction of painting on the
tape border. That means not on the screen!
(see illustration d).
Remove the roller from the wall only when it
reaches the tape strip. Do not remove the
roller from the wall if it is still on the screen
(this can leave behind a visible mark).
(see illustration e).
Tips
Important: Always paint wet on wet! By this we mean the following: Once you start applying the topcoat
it is very important that you continue until the layer is completely finished. Do not stop in between.
3. After you are finished keep the tape strips on the wall. Let the TopCoat dry for at least 120
minutes. During drying, place the roller in the roller pan and make sure that it is covered with
sufficient paint to prevent it from drying out.
Tips
if you turn the projector on after
the paint has dried you can easily
see if the top layer (TopCoat)
has been smoothly applied.
4: Apply the second layer of TopCoat in the exact same
manner (see point 2). Important: Let this last layer of
TopCoat dry for a minimum of two hours and a maximum
of three hours. Carefully remove the tape strips. Make sure
that the tape does not touch the screen surface while you
are removing it!
Special Note: After two hours of drying time you can already project onto your new screen.
Make sure that you do not touch it, because you will leave behind visible fingerprints or damage
on the TopCoat!
5: Remove the rest of the TopCoat paint from the roller pan and clean it thoroughly until all of
theresidue is removed.
3.2 Wait for screen to harden
It takes at least one week for the Mighty Brighty coatings to sufficiently harden. During this
week the coatings will continue to improve in appearance. You will also notice that small
irregularities and stripes will disappear or become much less visible. You must wait one week
before you can touch the screen surface without causing problems. If you wish you can paint
a black border around the screen to increase the contrast. Better yet, you can cut a black border
out of paper or cardboard and hang it as a sort of picture frame around the screen area.
