Looking for a flat paint finish

[1TrickPony]

I am painting sandstone cliffs on my layout. I've just used standard acrylic paint but the result is too shiny when the light hits it. I have tried Testor's Dullcoat and it looks the same as before I started.

The top part of each cliff was carved out of Foam Scultpture block, which has a sandy, flat finish. The tops don't match the bottoms of the cliffs, which are pink insulation foam with acrylic paint. Any ideas?

An acrylic matte finish would probably be your best bet.

That's a good idea. I found this that I think I'll try next:
Modern Masters DP609 Clear Decorative Painter’s Acrylic Dead Flat Varnish

I am hoping that the "Dead Flat" is accurate.

I have been using Micro Mark's Micro Lux Acrylics and like them very much. Their selection is limited. I also use Acrilicos Vallejo and like them too.

For scenery I use the Behr paints from HD. I think the sample bottles of paint are worth it.

Flat latex house paint.
Rustoleum flat finish.
Craft acrylics come in gloss, satin and flat, make sure you buy flat.
