A great example is silver. In the very close UV, like 310 nm, it's completely transparent. Light goes thru it perfectly. by the time you get to Green light, it's over 90% effective at reflections. Good, somewhat expensive, white paint used as a reflectance standard is good between 250-2500 nm. The type of laser they have is about 1000 or so nm. Using frequency doublers you can make that high UV in 3 jumps and below the bottom of where the paint can reflect well. I've used such high powered lasers in Academia. Doublers are common.

Dude, it was my schools AIChE chapter's T-Shirt. I still have mine. Although today I'm wearing my reactor chart that mocks other majors in a form they can not read.
Tomorrow I may wear my 'Clothing Optional, Safety goggles required' shirt.
