Sometimes the color as well as the make up of the dish make 'em more stealthy.
A solid would not be good. Nor white. See the first dish in my signature.

I've seen some pretty, black mesh dishes, but in my opinion that's not how you disappear.
The second dish in my signature is a one-piece, spun Aluminum, perforated.
(actually, it may be a one-piece stamping!)
But the important thing is the color.
It's a dull , flat, pewter (gray).
From any distance, it really blends with the sky.
For mounting ideas, look through the archives (5 years+) for Birdview mounting threads started by Linuxman.
They were low to the roof, and scanned the sky on H-H mounts.
Who knows, while you are out looking, you might find an H-H, too!
Normally, I'd rate mesh dishes below perfs or most solids.
But if you find a stealthy 10' or maybe even 8', and don't plan to run Ku on it, ya might be set. :up
I do agree on 8', if you can't do 10'.
What do you have now, and how happy are you?
Oh wait. You're getting rid of a 12' dish?!!
