Yes, you can either use an acrylic dullcoat or a enamel based dullcoat. The enamel will not harm the acrylic.

I've had no problem spraying Testor's Dullcote from a rattle can over acrylics. Just use a couple of light coats to play it safe and prevent any runs, drips, or errors!

be carefull if your using a laquer dullcoat and aplying iwth with a bruch because its going to smudge the paint. maybe several coats of future would help, our diluting the dullcoat. iam still figureing that out. but using an a/b wouldnt affect and smudge your paint

Airbrush+laquer dull/gloddcoat over any paint = no problem.
