No such thing as clear over flat black...........clear is what brings the shine. All base coats are "flat"

There is an additive that you add to the clear to achieve a MATTE finish. You can mix in different amounts for different effects. Some go matte to "eggshell"

I wouldnt try to spray clear over spray paint. In all reality. A matte finish paintjob should be cheaper than a regular black paint job. Black is the hardest color to paint and when you take the gloss and smoothness out of it it is real easy to do
