It was very matt black and worked very well. For some reason I just haven't noticed the problem in our Lancair 360. I did replace the vinyl cover with black matt leather out of concern for crazing the Plexiglas from fumes from the vinyl. I also figured it might handle the heat of a focused sun better than the vinyl if that should happen again (sun behind the open canopy melted a couple of holes in the vinyl.)
