Optimal Wall Color for Garage Sim Build

[Lamar Young]

I’m in the process of prepping my 2 car garage for my sim. I’m going with the 3 retractable screen setup from Par2Pro. There will be a 16 x 10 par2pro SQ screen that will drop down in front of the garage doors. I’ll have two 10 foot wide screens on each side with black mesh screens for side protection. I will have 15 x 7 feet of unpadded turf in directly in front of the screen and will have a 10 x 5 CCE mat I will be hitting from. I’m going to use a SkyTrak as the launch monitor. Having said all of that, are there any optimal colors I should consider for the walls in the garage (light color, dark color, etc.)??

Thanks!

Painted my walls white. Feels lighter and warmer in the garage.

May be better than have a dark background behind you so it doesn’t interfere with skytrak readings

Thinking dark purple with sparkles ??

Sure, whatever works for you. But people have had issues in the past with light colored background, probably depends upon how close the wall is.

I’m sure. The other half of my room is still tan Sheetrock. I needed the half white just so it wasn’t so gloomy. Before it wasn’t hard to see. True, I wouldn’t advocate for a total white wash room.

Wbond are you saying a dark background may be better to avoid interference?

[wbond]

It's not interference, it's more a white ball on a white background may cause the ST to not read the shot properly.

Here is the back of mine. I feel ever situation is different. If you have a lot of light then satin white might not be the best. I painted half of my garage eggshell white. I recently over the summer insulated this portion. The boards are OSB.
