I'm using a flat white roof paint from Home Depot, rated as 90% reflective according to the label on the can. I have a 1000w light in the flowering room, and it's literally blinding in there. I can't work in there without sunglasses. 6 bucks a gallon, and I'm very happy with it thus far.

Well, it's in the roofing area, not the paint department. You might have been looking in the wrong aisle.

I'd be wary of anything marketed as ceiling paint; typically, people don't want their ceilings to be very reflective because it creates glare spots. It may not be a very reflective paint. I know some people here have just used Kiln's flat white primer, and if I recall correctly they report that they're happy with it.
