A method is for forming a radiation shield around an object. The method includes providing an inorganic paint pigment comprising a fluid matrix, and paint flakes carried within the fluid matrix. Each paint flake includes a common aluminum mirror layer having a first major surface and a second major surface opposing the first major surface, a first plasmonic aluminum reflector layer carried by the first major surface, and a second plasmonic aluminum reflector layer carried by the second major surface. The method also includes coating an outer surface of the object with the inorganic paint pigment.
