flat white compared to gloosy whit acrylic

hello fella's
I'm in the middle of building my small grow room. I've read to cover the walls with flat white paint for reflection. I have very high gloss white acrylic sheets that I us in my bussiness and was thinking this would be better for reflection but not sur if this would be better or not. I also have a 175 watt mh and a 400 watt hps with conversion bulb. do you think this will be enough light to grow 10 plants? My grow room will be 3'x 7' with a ceiling at 7'. Any help would be great. Thanks

go with the flat

what is the benifit of flat over gloss. I was thinking the glossy sheets would be like a huge reflector for my lights.

Flat reflects more use-able light than gloss.

thanks for the replies guys. It sound like I'm painting flat white on the walls. It would be easier to do anyway.

I can grow 12 plants under my 400 watt HPS. It is a soil grow and in a pinch could probably grow 15. I have a 4' x 4' x 8' high area and that light is perfect.
