you could easly make one :) wallpaper paste will stick Kitchen foil onto thick cardbord or polystyrean sheet ,then spraypaint one side gold .

works great...all it has to do is reflect light...I did a couple in several sizes...
actually I found one of those window shades for cars that folds into a circle...already silver on one side and black on the other..painted the other side metallic gold....works great and for $8...

Yes
if you want it to be a weaker reflector with no hot spots carefully crumple the foil first then flaten it out again before pasteing this has the efect of making the reflector give a more even light if a bright light such as the sun is used.
