The problem is that dulux has their own version of soft or egshell than lets say
sherwin williams.

Just test a few spots.
Choose the one that drys with the least
amount sheen.
I personally would investigate that matte vinyl it should be close

it should be called "flat" or "matte". most of that stuff in the picture looks like it's called "silk" and "sheen", indicating it's not the right kind. Just buy a pint or gallon of flat white, however much you need. anything with a sheen will lose reflectivity by a considerable amount.

actually i see something called "matt vinyl", that might be good. test some and see if it has any sheen whatsoever, if it's flat it will not.

If you're really poor go with any can of white paint that you may have or can get. Refrain from using flamable material. White tyvek would go well too if you have access to a constuction site. If it's a small cab the construction crew will most "likely" give you their scap pieces if approached in a proper manner.
