Which would you do: brush or roller, or air gun?

I would buy a white cotton bedsheet, wet it, stretch it over a frame, let
it dry and tauten.

Yes, that's a possibility.

But that's a whole lot more work than painting a sheet of MDF.

However, white is not actually the best for LCD front-projection.
The LCD panel is not totally opaque in the blacks, rendering the blacks as a
blueish grey on a white screen. Using a neutral grey colour for the screen
sacrafices some of the ample available brightness for a deepening of the
blacks, and improved shadow detail and overall percieved image quality.
This is all well documented on the various AV forums and groups.

You're turning this into a "project", aren't you

believe me, it's really not that important. Kids are not looking for
blacks which aren't truly black - they are getting absorbed in a story,
they are not going to be over interested in technicals

believe me
