http://www.goosystems.com/index.php?cont=home is "the" paint to use, but 
it's the $500/gallon area for top coat, and $129 gallon for bottom coat.

You might try finding one of those retractable projector screens. It 
seems to me I use to see fairly large ones in the ~$100 range at used 
office equipment stores. We used to play Halo on XBox this way and it 
worked pretty well.

I did a bit of looking, but I can't figure out what is in the paint to 
make it more friendly to a projector. It looks like it just needs to 
reflect light, so a semi-gloss or gloss might be fine?
