i used outdoor flat white primer, which is mold and mildew resistant.. i dunno if it really matters as long as it's flat white.

Latex will pill, I would go with the primer.

so is flat white comparable to other reflective surfaces...anyone know how comparable it is to mylar or emergency blankets? A can of spray is cheaper for sure but how reflective is it in comparison.

mylar is more reflective...untill it gets dirty, then its crap and you cant clean it. flat paint is plenty reflective IMO and if it gets fucked up, just give it another coat, its cheap!
