Reducing light reflections inside the hood?

I'm using those cheap ebay metal round hood for some of my primes.
Particularly on my Helios 44-2.
That lens is not coated, and have tremendous trouble with glare.

Anyways, would it help if I were to coat the inside of the metal hood with some sort of thin reflection reducing materials? Like a black craft foam or some fabrics something like that.

Maybe matte tape for a quick and cheap solution?

+1 on the spray paint. It's fast and reliable.

+2 on the matte black spray paint. It is easy to touch up also! Make certain you tape off the screw threads before painting!
