Will painting windows a reflective color reduce heat in a room?

I have a room at the back of the house that gets very hot in summer, I have a blind installed, but still a lot of heat comes through, especially in the afternoon when the sun shines on the windows directly for a few hours. I had the idea that maybe I could also paint the glass of the windows to reflect some of the heat. Will this work? And if so... what paint color and type would be best? Maybe I should board-up the windows (oh, and obviously I'm not at all interested in looking thorugh these windows, the room is a small den which I'm using as a make-shift music studio). Thanks!
