slightly dull reflector - better foil

[Livolsi, Stephane]

If you do want to go the aluminum foil route, I would suggest you look into
Bare Metal Foil which is used to add chrome to model cars and planes.
I build model cars and this stuff is pretty good. Extremely thin and
adhesive backed on one side.  There are different varieties (regular,
aluminum and super bright)  The super bright is probably what you would want
to use.  Being adhesive it is easier to put in place as it stays there.
Then you burnish it down with cotton balls and viola!
