try looking at ceramic spray on coatings, the best is one named thermacote. they have been saving people on insulation cost and energy bills since the mid 80's.

From: TOM WEYAND

insulate the with blown insulation with a minimum thickness of 12 to 13 inches--this would equate to a r-30 insulation value--depending of what part of the country you live in the higher the r-value the better---if the attic has rock wool or cellulose this can and should be extracted first.
