Cleanable white painted wall is better than a shiny wall thats dirty and has water spots on it. (which is what mylar looks like after 1 run)
Here's an option, cheap, easy to work with and about as reflective as mylar but without the hassles of trying to keep the kinks out. It's just styrofoam insulation, comes in 3/4", 1", and 1 1/2" thick. One side has the writing, other side is the reflective material, it's attached so won't peelI'm using it for my "walls" in my new room, attaching it to the studs with velcro strips so it'll be easy to remove if I need to do any work later, replace it (damage), or remove it quickly in a pinch. About $13 per 4'x8' sheet at Home Depot... Probably cost you less than paint, never mind the work associated with painting (I f'n hate painting), take you about an hour to put it up.

Does that work well for reflecting light, and not reflecting heat? I would think all those ridges wouldn't be good for reflecting.
so i can buy that at Home depot? and put it on my walls?
Easily painted, just use a primer like kills. If you really want good reflectivity, easily cleanable, and very resilient surface use a rubber paint, like for roofs. I used it on my grow and along with sealing the room I can hose it down if needed and it looks great.I have a brick wall though so i dont think i can paint it, that would be kinda hard wouldn't it?
