Matt or Gloss Vinyl

How did you guys decide whether to go Matt or Gloss for your side art? I see both and both look great in the situations they're used in, but I can't decide!

I was leaning towards Matt as i'm going to go for that on the CP as i feel it'll wear better, but can you mix and match? Should I? How can I decide?!!?

Although I have never done full side art on a project I would assume to use matte if you are going to use matte on the control panel.

When to use each is subjective. I like both gloss and matte but I would avoid mixing them unless you were using matte over the gloss (or vise versa) to create a specific effect.
