How to dull a spray painted finish?

I recently sprayed painted a decorative window pane. It's just a bit too white for what I'd like, and a bit too glossy, even though it's matte. I'd like to make it look a bit 'old', but not sure how to do this. I thought of taking a very small amount of stain and lightly going over a few areas. I can sand a few areas to give it that worn look, but spray paint doesn't seem to sand, it just 'rolls'. I don't really want cream, so don't want to respray it. Any ideas of how to give it just a hint of 'older, not quite so white' finish? Thanks!
