Shane,

White paint have been engineered to reflect all visible light -- hence the colour white. However, each blend/brand of white paint have no guarantees as to what it will do to IR, UV and other waves -- unlike shiny metals (almost guaranteed). Without being specifically engineered to reflect IR or UV, the paint is mostly likely going to absorb all or some of it (engineers/chemists tend not to overdesign [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] it is a hard enough problem as it is )

Hope that helps.

- Victor.
