from memory mylar is 98% reflective and flat white 90%. I'm sure eggshell will be fine as long as its 'brilliant white' - you may lose a couple of % though.

I too am going to use white painted walls and floor for my grow, cheap and simple.

Mylars not THAT expensive depending where you get it. Try and get a material of some kind because paint is a waste of time.
