In this case, the microrelief of the base will reduce the area of adhesion, and air bubbles will accumulate in the cavities between the pasted surface and the film, which will lead to rapid peeling of the material.

Arguments against pasting

A glossy film in intense light can create a lot of glare that will blind the driver or simply put an increased strain on vision. In addition, after such detaling, fingerprints and other oil/fat traces become more noticeable on the pasted surfaces.
Also, pasting a transparent glossy film over matte interior elements can distort their color perception due to light refraction. In many cases, such an optical effect only spoils the interior entourage.

Arguments in favor of pasting

Glossy films have better anti-friction properties than matte ones, which provides more reliable protection of plastic interior elements from scratches. Drivers who often leave the car in the sun should know that glossy films, due to their better reflective ability, will protect the pasted base from color loss under the influence of ultraviolet radiation more reliably than matte ones.
Scratches on glossy surfaces are less noticeable than on matte ones. In addition, glossy films attract dust and other contaminants not as much as matte ones.

Rules for applying glossy material to a matte base

As with the pasting of the hood, wings and bumper according to the patterns for the car body, the detaling of the matte interior elements with a shiny film should be preceded by degreasing the base. This will improve the quality of the material's adhesion to the pasted surface and ensure maximum aesthetics if the film is transparent. After pasting, the matte surfaces should not be loaded until the glue dries. This process, depending on the composition of the adhesive solution, can take up to 24 hours, but with a high temperature resistance of the base, drying can be accelerated by blowing hot air.
