   you could but it'd be a bit pointless imo, lacquer would just make it shiney/glossy again

   you can get a matting agent to put in lacquer
   will then leave as a mat finish

   plus i think lacquaring matt makes it come up shiner. could try lacquaring in the very cold, but would still have a slight shine to it
