just use a flat clear on the outside of the shell.
not a very good pic but the black on this shell is matt, the rest is glossy

cheers - what happens though when the shell tumbles etc? does it start looking tatty once the flat clear on the outside flakes off?

If you know anyone who works at a car body shop you could get some fine scotch brite and some other stuff called prep and blend liquid, this will dull it down, it won't flake off either. However unless you have years of practice the finish won't be completely even...
The can method is best. If you scuff the shell very lightly first it will help it hold on.

what if you put the clear coat on first on the inside then spray over with the black?
