I am not sure what reflecting water means to be honest. But car body
filler is completely impermeable if thats what you mean, being comprised

properties either ;-)

Some 'fibreglass' car body fillers are/were porous - if my books on
bodging car bodywork are to be believed. Wouldn't mica be difficult to
sand?
