I dont know about making an acrylic flat but Testors/Model Masters has an acrylic flat finish that comes in a bottle and is airbrush ready. Just make sure you mix it very very well if you want a perfectly flat finish.

They also make a gloss but I think most people use Future for an acrylic gloss coat. Your post is a little but confusing becuase you are asking about an "acrylic flat gloss coat".

There are plenty of options available, Future can be flattened with the addition of Tamiya X-21 base, Swanny give some useful information on ratios here;

Liquitex also do some nice acrylic clears which are non yellowing & ready for airbrushing, they are available in flat, satin, gloss & high gloss & can be mixed to give intermediate finishes;
