for informations sake, foil/mirror has a black backgrond and absorbs more than reflects, white paint is the way. :cheers:

If the shelf paper is metallic or conducts in any way, this would likely short out the wires. At the voltages we're talking about, it's not a major fire hazard, but it's not something you want to be doing.

Like someone mentioned, true white paint would likely be a better choice.

in my experience, people who have special gardens in their attics know, they buy special white foil. i am not one of these people should the local law enforcement be reading.
