quick bump since im tempted to use non drip gloss if it doe'snt affect the plant and not to fussed if it is only a little less efficient than flat white ?

Hey, well im sure someone will correct me but im sure that its not so much it wont work, its just flat white reflects more, like 10% more i think......
also with gloss paint i guess if you dont evenly coat the box it will create hot spots....
but yeah it will reflect light, just not the most...

cheers bunnyface, ill see if i can get some flat white somewhere for cheap if not ill just use up the gloss , can always strip and repaint and my setup is only gonna use cfls so hopefully there won't be too many hotspots and its gonna have a few pc fans bringing fresh air in :cool:
