I am going to paint my basement walls (block construction) I prefer the
look of flat white paint. I have an awful lot of glossy white paint left
over from another project. Is there a way to make glossy paint flat? Or
at least maybe something not as shinny?

Thanks...

talc is added to paint to make it flat. the more you add, the flatter it
gets. it'd be a bear to mix it up well enough though.
