How to build edgeless projection screen using plywood for less than 6000Rupees

I have did lots of googling and research before concluding to goahead with this project.

Should I go for edgeless?
I love edgeless screens for the looks and impact that it gives. The myth around having black border is not true. What I suggest is you only need black border if your background in not black. Yes, its as simple as that.

Should I buy blackout cloth or paint?
I had to finally go for paint option because it was difficult to source that in my place. I got projection paint from amazon and painted my self. total material cost was 4000rs, Labour 1700rs.

Materials:
Water proof plywood
6mm thickness 7*4 inches size : 3 numbers(actual screen)
19mm plywood board for border frame
Silk touch projection paint: 1 liter
Silk Touch 01 Lt Screen Coating

Wall putty
Primer and other paint materials

Project:
I decided to make 130" diagonal screen. I took the required measurement for height and width from here
https://www.projectorscreen.com/projector-screen-calculators
I added half inch extra measurement for adding LED backlight. I made the screen joining 3 plywood planks with help of local carpenter.

Then we added hook for wall mount

Post the wood work was complete. I started painting myself.
I started with applying putty and then primer and finally the projection screen paint(4 coats) to get finishing. I added grey tint to the projection paint to get more contrast.

I am pretty impressed with the final finish and clarity that I get now.
I am using benq1070 for projection.

great post. I recently got epson tw5300 and was looking for a projector screen. Now, I have a very good option, thanks to you.
Looking at this beautiful diy project, I would like to know, how have you mounted the projector? Thanks.

Nice screen. But was wondering why would you need the wood ply and not go for the paint on the wall. It will be cheaper, simpler and will avoid any moulding or warping that can happen to plywood.

Also, blackout cloth is quite cheap, so is there a significant price difference between that ply?

You can paint directly on wall, but you wont get that look. It wont look like 3d project popup like in theater
Secondly, I will not be able to LED backlight if project directly on wall.

Regarding blackout cloth, its not that cheap, good quality cloth might cost more than 10,000rs, and also I needed grey color for screen for better contrast. Gray blackout cloth not easy to source in india
