Reflective white paint for hood interior...

[strgazr27]

I'm building a hood for my 75 and was wondering if you guys had any thoughts on the use of "Reflective White" paint like they use on signs and safety stickers? It's not expensive and seems like it would significantly add to the amount of light reaching the tank.

Looking for input!

Yep, I used 5 gallons of it while redoing my basement. It is not highly reflective though. I am talking about the type of paint used on Fire Hydrants and street striping.

I'm using an old MH fixture while I build my DIY LED. The paint in the fixture was chipped and yellowed. Rather than repaint it, I lined the fixture with aluminum foil. Cheap reflector.

I also think so.
