The suits that the Apollo astronauts wore were not particularly shiny. They were white and reflected the sun's light and heat. The Mercury program astronauts did wear shiny pressure suits made of aluminium-coated nylon, to provide thermal and pressurization protection. They did not, however, go to the moon as their flights were sub-orbital and low-earth orbital.
