Rosco #5735 TV Paint, 1 Gallon (3.79 Liters), TV White

After extensive research and development, Rosco has introduced its TV Paints, specifically engineered to cater to the intricate contrast requirements of standard television and video systems. The TV White variant is a subtle Neutral Gray shade that adheres to the specifications for 60% reflectance. This makes it the optimal choice for achieving maximum brightness in video white balancing.

On the other end of the spectrum, TV Black is a deep matte black that meets the criteria for 3% reflectance, signifying the minimum brightness intended for transmission. This makes it ideal for creating depth and contrast in your video productions.

The Rosco TV Paints are designed for convenience and can be used straight out of the can. If dilution is required, it can be done with up to 10% water, ensuring flexibility in application.

For optimal results, it's crucial that the surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dirt and grease. Porous surfaces, with the exception of fabrics, should be primed using Rosco Tough Prime. If you're painting a new plaster surface, start with a commercial primer/sealer designed specifically for raw plaster. Follow this up with Rosco Tough Prime for the final preparation.

Before application, stir the contents to ensure a uniform consistency. Avoid shaking the can. The paint can be applied using a brush, roller, or spray gun, depending on your preference. For the best finish, apply in thin, even, uniform coats using a high-quality brush or roller. Use overlapping strokes and maintain a wet edge to prevent any streaking or patterning. Changing the direction of the roller frequently will also help to avoid any unwanted patterns or streaks.

In conclusion, Rosco TV Paints are a reliable choice for professionals seeking high-quality, contrast-specific paints for television and video systems.
