Back Window tinting

What is everyone using for the dot matrix at the top of the back window when they tint? Ive heard plenty of people say not to get that tinted because it only bubbles later on. Ive heard people saying to paint the area. If so, what paint do you use? Ive also heard using a vinyl piece over it or something like that.

I have mine tinted over the dot matrix and have never had a problem with it bubbling over.

I have just a piece of vinyl stuck to the outside of the window. It is noticable if you are looking for it...otherwise it blends perfectly. I live about 1 mile from assembly hall so if you want to see one in person or even make a template to make your own vinyl, let me know. Its in a nice warm garage! All I know is no camaro is making it thru these snowy roads today.
Take it easy and let me know if I can help

i got my tint done at Z-Tech there in champaign and i had the dots and bitched about them so they offered to cut the tint even with the edge of the dots and paint over them with a special paint, turned out realy well and i was very satisfied

Mine have been tinted over twice and I've never had any trouble with bubbles or peeling.

I have vinyl on my back window and it looks perfect. Blends nicely too. It was stuck on the inside of the window with the tint.

I've got black vinyl on over that part as well. I think the shop charged me an extra $15 or so for it.
