Worth looking at some beginner painter videos I expect. I got a decent brush to cut in edges and basically gave up on a lot of time spent using painters tape. Cutting in baseboards and ceilings is a little more precision work, but really helps things go a lot quicker in the long run.
Don't forget a drop cloth or two to protect the flooring.

‍A couple of pics from yesterday. I did three coats of grey paint. I waited an hour between each one. Not doing this before I thought it came out good. I'll post the ending results this weekend.

I'm a bit sad that the Optoma 1080p PJ doesn't have 3D playback. Weird that they omitted it. I know the others Optoma they sold after had 3D. Glad I didn't sell the other Acer 720 3D PJ I have. The picture is amazing on the Optoma, so can't complain. Like I said hopefully in a couple of years I can upgrade to 4K with 3D.

Yes, the refurb BenQ models on eBay have been a real bargain, and the included 2-year warranty is better than what BenQ offers on brand new models. It makes a lot of sense for those just trying to get into front projection and wanting a decent entry level 4K product.
