Been thinking about this for a couple years now. I've called 4 ceramic coating companies and 2 body shops to ask their thoughts about it, and have received 3 "yes, that should work but start in a small inconspicuous area first" answers.....and 3 "I don't know" answers. So I thought I would put it out here and see if someone with a more advanced comprehension of automotive paints would possibly offer some clarity? -or- better yet some opaqueness? 
Could a guy get a flat matte or satin-like finish by lightly wet sanding a gloss finish in a cross hatched pattern with 3000 or higher grit paper -or by- using a DA with light pressure and 5000 or higher grit paper....
-then-
thorough wash and rinse, proper dry
-then-
applying a matte finish ceramic coating to that no longer perfectly smooth and flat clearcoat??
