I finally got to the point where I could put a coat of the final colour on the wall to test and...

What a disappointment.

The satin is too smooth, so I have hot spotting. I was prepared for that.

What I was not prepared for was the poor colour on the screen grey. The grey definitely improves black levels, but there's something wrong with the tint because everything looks kind of yellow washed out. I swear that things also look less clear. I was amazed at the amount of detail I was seeing projecting onto the final primer coat, and was expecting a slight improvement with the top coat. Sigh...

I'm going to do a bit more testing tonight with some material I've recently watched. I'm heading back to the plant to grab some plotter paper to put up on one side of the screen as a comparison.
