I believe Paul posted a thread about flocking the inside of the main baffle.
If it is anodised, anodised aluminium reflects heavily in IR.

I am told Blackboard paint is good. There was an excellent thread I read on a Yahoo Group where this guy had researched various matt black paints and come up with the best. Perhaps a google search for telescope matt black paint or similar may pick it up.
