Flat white paint is actually 93-97 % reflective.👍✌ ---

There is a video a fella did about wall coverings where he used flat white paint, panda poly, and mylar reflective material such as that. The flat white paint worked the best, the panda poly a close second and the silver coated material was surprisingly nowhere near the other 2. Obviously he used a light sensor for the tests. Im sure it would be an easy google search. ---

Flat white paint is the best for the grow room. I did use this product though in my hydro tent to insulate my individual plant stations and my reservoir. ![Hydro](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/growingmarijuana/original/4X/d/b/6/db6618b7f55f776e7040b284f0450843faab9b51.jpeg) ---
