i found a shop in town sells mylar 5euro a square mtr, but seein as white paint is been given the tumbs up from the mods ill stick with that after all they know a lot bout this stuff thnxs again peeps as always very insitefull.
dont get me wrong...I use Mylar in every room and cabinet I have. The next best thing IMO is the panda plastic black on one side white on the other, then flat white paint.Quote:

cool so you paint the white side in white emulsuion and that adds to the reflective qualities I must tell him, as the Mylar he sells is matt white on one side anyway, I never though off painting it I thought it was ok the way it was
could white cartridge paper work as a reflector?
monster..it might but i would not waste a penny on it.........Mylar is in my opinion the best reflective material that is available at the mo. and im pretty sure 99.99% that these guy's who supply it know better than most people on this site as they do it as a job and make a very good living at it, results speak for themselves
ps we cannot know all things,,,,,know what I mean
