I would try it without the mirror first. It usually
'bounces' just fine without the reflective material.
You'll be supprised! The only way to know is to
try it.
Right. Since IR is light of a frequency we cannot see, we have no idea what different colored (that we can see) surfaces "look like" to IR. You will find IR reflection where you do not expect it. I have even see IR pass through two layers of blue painter's tape that I put over the sensor to block IR pickup for a noise test! But then, I don't know what "color" the tape is to IR.
