What kind of texture on the walls?

---

Not entirely sure since I've never used that white board paint, but would think it will have a textured look/feel since I'll be painting it over regular dry wall...

They'll get over it

Don't use whiteboard paint. It is highly reflective and will create hot spots. First, you must use a smooth wall. The picture will look like crap on a textured wall. Just tape off the area you want to use as a screen and smooth that area out with a block sander until smooth. Will it make a mess? Yes. Deal with it.

Then use a white primer. After that, use Screen Goo. https://www.gooscreen.com/. I recommend the gray if you are using a DLP or LCD projector. It reduces the lumens some, but will increase black levels and contrast significantly.

The reason you want to use this and not just a regular paint is in the reflective properties. Screen Goo disperses the light evenly and does so without absorbing light or without reflecting too much light (creating hot spotting).

Good luck.
