Subject:how to cool a poptop?

The "paint guy," where I took my Westy for an estimate, seemed to think
that a white poptop would not make a difference during hot weather.  Where
I live it can go up to 110 degrees or more, but there are usually only
about 20 or less of these days per year, and usually spread out in August
and September. If it's 108 degrees outside, I can't see how a white rooftop
could reduce the inside temp by more than 2 or 3 degrees, which would still
result in a sizzling 105 degrees.

I'm wondering if there's any feasible or "creative" way to install
Reflectix or any other type of insulation *inside* the poptop, or would
there happen to be some kind of "paint on" insulation for the exterior...
