Mirrors are specular reflectors. A 100% white surface, by definition, is a surface that reflects back 100% of the light that hits it. That's what makes it white. Of course a 100% white surface only exists in theory but they have come very closeCan you find a link to a source that compares white paint to pure silver as an optical reflector ?
The guys building mirror reflectors for astronomical telescopes sure do not use white paint.
