There are some DIY paint formulas listed here: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=646534 .
They also list other budget-minded screen solutions, such as a $75 sheet of laminate (the countertop material made for gluing to plywood).
I went to the local art store and bought a large white canvas frame on sale. It's doing well for me until I have the funds to invest in something better.

What color should I paint my wall for a home theater projector? Flat? Semi-Gloss?

I just bought a Mitsubishi Projector to watch movies on at home, I have the perfect wall to project it on, but what should I paint the wall, I don't want to spend a fortune on crazy specialty paints, just whatever I can find at Home Depot will do fine, but what is best?

As a previous answerer noted, AVS Forum has a wealth of information. As someone who has both painted and built a screen, here are some options:
If you really want to paint the wall, first make sure it's absolutely free of defects, they'll drive you crazy. Then paint with Behr Silver Screen (770E-2) available at Home Depot. A white paint will also work (such as Behr Ultra Pure White 1850) Use flat, not semi-gloss.
But a very important part of a screen is a dark border, it makes the image pop, improves apparent contrast, makes it look much more real. You can build a frame out of wood and black velvet fabric, or paint one on the wall with flat black.
I personally would recommend buying or building a screen you can hang. There are kits on eBay, and premade screens are not terribly expensive. If you want to DIY, you can either buy a sheet of 1/4" MDF board and paint that, or simply buy a piece of WilsonArt Designer White laminate, which can be painted, but actually makes a very nice screen untreated. Then build or paint a border around it.
A good screen is essential. Good luck.
