DIY canopy reflector questions.

[leoslizards]

I'm building a DIY canopy for my tank and I was wondering which of these paints would work best as a reflector?

Flat white, Semi-gloss white, or Gloss white?

I'm painting it tomorrow and need to know which would work best. My guess is the Super High Gloss White but I'm not sure. I have all three paints in hand.

I would say the gloss white would be better. But not by much.

Why not just do a test patch of each and then visually compare the reflectiveness of each?

I'd go with the gloss personally. I did flat white on my canopy and it reflects quite a bit.

Good idea but I think I'll just go for the gloss white.
