Some dyed films have okay heat rejection. 3M Color Stable, Madico CharCOOL, come to mind. They perform very well due to the way they're dyed.

Almost all other dyed films have horrible heat rejection.

So it comes down to how much heat you want to reduce.

Also, ceramics CANNOT fade or change color. I just don't mean the warranty covers it, I mean they can't! Try fading titanium nitride....it's hard!

Also ATX isn't a ceramic, it's a half breed or something. Even the reps have a hard time explaining it. It's not a true ceramic (because the material is not recognized as one), but it's close. They call it "cermet". Yes, I made all kinds of Kermit the frog jokes about it.

F1 is top notch too. CPFilms makes both Llumar and Formula One. The Pinnacle line is a ceramic and has higher heat rejection than all the previously mentioned films.

Go look at some samples and see which one you like the looks of better. They all look very different.
