I don't know any methods to degloss paint, but I do know if you use a light color it hardly shows defects. Also, you could use joint compound to fix any imperfections. After using the joint compound, sand, prime and re-paint. (I have noticed that priming after using the joint compoud really makes a difference with the finish. -

go to Lowes or Home Depot in the area where they have chalk paint. The clear matte wax deglosses to me Even though it says wax it's more like polyacrylic. Test a small area first to se if it has the look that you want -

Did you prime the walls before painting? If you did not that is the problem and not the paint. -

Semi gloss does just that, shows everything so going to a flater paint will soften the finish and cover well with one coat. -

There are top coats for chalk paint to make it more durable. I wonder if there is a matte option? I would look for that or buy a gallon of eggshell in the same color and give it one more coat.- See 1 previous
