Paint it flat white for the best reflectivity.

Too much trouble, and not as reflective as flat white paint.
Another good option is 'panda' plastic. It is white on one side, and black on the other, and completely blocks light.

and Panda plastic is scrubabble.
I use the plastic and have no complaints.

Flat white paint is more reflective than mylar.
