I'll let it dry for a few days before making a final decision. But as the dot matrix tinting does, there sometimes are very small air pockets around that area.
I'll see what it looks like next week.

You can see a faint ~3" line across the bottom section of where the crossed flags are. I want to see how it dries, but feeling is when you tint that area will need to be covered with black vinyl or just not tinted (which might look goofy).

Just had mine done today, went 35%. I had them do the strip of black vinyl on the whole dot matrix on the C6, this took it much better except for that 3 to 4 inches, still much better than the dots. I kinda like it, looks like a flock of little birds.

Well, you know you could take some pictures again when it's sunny.

Love the look! Thanks for posting those.

Thanks for the heads up re: the dot matrix. I was going to let it dry and see what happened but it sounds like I should just go with the vinyl from the get go. Have an appointment next week.

I'm not sure if it looks great, or if there is just no way for this car not to look stunning.

I give up trying to determine what color looks best on this car...I don't think I would be able to make a decision until I saw all colors side by side. This looks amazing too. I think a trip to the museum is in order...

I've only ruled out Black, Green, and Laguna Blue
