It's called "Radiance"...the name of the radiant barrier paint that Sherwin Williams sells (exclusively) in Texas. I checked into it last year and it runs about $33.00/gal. They also have a website and will send brochures and info. Comes in colors, can be used on interior walls and ceilings and in the attic space on underneath side of roof. When I called last year to get opinions on the product from the talk show host,building contractor, Tom Tynun?, he knew nothing about it. Now that it has been "discovered" locally, he highly reccomends it. It is evidently a product used by NASA as a radiant heat barrier on shuttles, etc. Can be rolled on or sprayed on. A "do it yourself" poject, if you want, but I have noticed lots of companies offering the service now. http://www.radiancecomfort.com/Products/products.htm
