I would go white paper, i hear tinfoil will burn the plant at the later stages but not 100% on that...

i would think out of the two the white paper may be better @ reflecting light and absorbing heat. idk, there's a best deals thread as a sticky on 1 of the forums here. i'll hunt around and find it, i had a link init for a pack of 12 mylar emergency blankets for like $11.45. u may want to check it out i got free shipping w/ mine. i'll be back in a min and stick the link in.

that's a link to a thread discussing reflector's so u may be interested in it and heres a direct link to the amazon page w/ the blankets

just make sure to look at the leaves if they seem heat stressted or burnt at the tips id go without the foil but depends on how the plant is, got any pics?

neither.

cheap white semi gloss paint.
some say flat, but you cant wipe down flat latex without rubbing off some of the paint.
