Reflective paint

[Maer]

Many people use mylar, and most find out quickly it is a pain in the ass to keep clean. Some people swear by flat white paint. Is there an in between, something like this maybe?

If you read the description, it says that it's actually a clear, semi-transparent coating. You would still need to paint your walls white. One spray paint only covers 15 sq ft. so it will cost you a lot. I think if you just paint your walls flat white you will be very happy.

Use flat white Kilz paint. It has mold barrier in it and flat white is about 90-95% reflective. Only slightly behind new, clean mylar (which drops dramatically after installation).

OK how about this, add these to Kilz. People say mirrors absorb light but I think these spheres are so small they reflect without losing as much light as mirrors.

Then again it says retro reflective which means it goes out at the same angle as it goes in, so that would mean toward the light, not good.
