well when i got my tint dont, they put tint below the dot matrix and spray painted the dots....that was well over a year ago and no problem with anything. No cracking or peeling. Just tape up and put newspaper around and spray paint the window back. and from the outside, it looks stock. I'll post a pic tomorrow when its daylight
