Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Home Theater Suggestions what color to paint my Home Theater??

Great pictures of your system there!!! I am impressed!!!

Hey, I've seen that thread! Yes nice job!

I agree, semi-gloss may be too reflective as Newf stated. I used satin/flat on the ceiling, and eggshell on the walls.

From the paint lines I've seen, eggshell is a step between: Satin -> Eggshell -> Semi-gloss -> High-gloss. I'm happy with it and if your colors are dark it should be fine.

Our screen wall is the same as our walls and with the lights out I don't see the color at all. Just black. I have some light and dark room pics at my site. http://ravenmanor.com/cinema/

omfg your home is gorgeous. You guys seem to have the same test as I do. the shower, the kitchen....very very nice.

I actually had our existing home sold this summer as I was trying to buy something bigger. Just could never find anything so we are staying here another year. I'm not going crazy with the hometheater until I have something big enough to do so.

The eggshell with the glaze is very durable. You can't mark it at all. Rub it all you want, and it's not reflective.

VEry nice job man.

Thank you for those nice compliments newfmp3! We are very happy with how the basement finish turned out, but I think the room pics you posted look outstanding. The faux finishing on the walls is a terrific look, and I really liked the axioms in gloss black. Makes me wish I ordered mine with that finish.

When you move into your new home and theater I'm sure it will be fanstastic!

You guys seem to have the same taste as I do.

But I guess you figured that out. Darn laptop and it's small buttons

thanks for the comments.

For the longest time I couldn't figure out what you meant by "same test as I do". I figured it was canadian or something...

>>I figured it was canadian or something...

I figured it was an East Coast thing

THanks for the clarification; I didn't quite figure it out but I figured you ment something different than you typed. I didn't want to bother you to ask. Again thanks, and I think you're right in our similar tastes. I'd like to see more of your pics.

dllewel: I saw your pics on the Wall of Fame about a week ago. Nice work on the HT man!

newf: Damn I like the colors you used.

Great work guys!

MiniRock,

Thank you. I have seen your site, very cool. Star Wars makes a great theme for a HT room. Makes me want to put an episode on, but which one?
