Where can I find white plastic sheeting?

Black or clear will not work, and that's all I can seem to come up with on google. White and black on opposite sides could work, but I can't find the size I need. Speaking of size, I need it to be 16 to 20 feet wide (and similar length, but rolls could be longer); most seem to be 100' for sizes that wide. One other requirement- reinforced sheeting will not work, I will need it to have a smooth surface when I'm done. Thickness matters less, but obviously the thicker the more expensive and I think 4 mL would work fine. What's it for you ask? Sorry, but it's a secret, at least for now.

Try "vinyl sheet" instead of "plastic sheet".

You'll have a real hard time finding vinyl wider than 48 or 60 inch wide - but it would work...just need to seam several together.

...and properly connected vinyl sheet is almost indistinguishable when its welded chemically.

The plastic in black and clear is 'polyethylene'.

Search for 'white polyethylene sheet' and I found a bunch...notably:
