can’t think of one harry, done it the other way round several times.
just should be similar qualities.

Cheers Chris, it’s for a good job and don’t want edges curling back in a month or two! 😀

Same as Chris, done it gloss over matt without problems. I just made sure i used the same series film for both as I would with any build up of vinyl.

The only time you would normally get shrinkage issues is if you mix a monomeric vinyl with a polymeric or cast vinyl / laminate and vise-versa.

Hi Harry.
I have applied Matt over gloss vinyl and haven’t had any shrinkage at all – been on for about 2yrs now and is an external sign.
I did however use the same films.
