What color to paint inside of hood

[Samw]

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Yes, there are reflectors. However a lot of light still bounces off the canopy as the reflector doesn't surround the bulb completely. I'd like to reflect some of this light back into the tank.

I'll probably go with marine paint. Will I still need a primer or can the marine paint be applied directly on wood?
