Also, remember that spray paint does not cover very evenly. A small patch might
be fine, but an entire screen would have a lot of streaking. You need paint that
goes on more smoothly than a spray can. Also, as was pointed out elsewhere in
the above response, the acceptable range of view is fairly narrow for this kind
of screen.
