I tried a small test piece and found it worked fine - used silver spray
paint - BUT two things you should consider:

Plywood is neither flat nor smooth.  I used a small piece of "masonite"
a.k.a. "hardboard" - it has one smoooooth side.

One reason people don't make screens like this is that they don't
roll up easily - so, if you are a bachelor, fine, but...  they also
can get scuffed moving them out to the garage and back...

AND they are more directional than the fancy, not really so expensive
roll-up lenticular screens.

Let us know.
