Paints can be up to 90% reflective. These are high-quality titanium oxide
based paints, of course. There are other oxides as well, but the Ti stuff
is probably easier to find.

What is the paint they use when they paint flat roofs? Mine was just
painted silver, and checking out the job just now I find it very
reflective. Certainly paint would be the easiest. Are these titanium oxide
paints readily available in my local hardware store?
