Silica
The paint factories typically used Silica powder to flatten enamel military paint in the old days, the Silica gave that slightly powdery textured finish to the dried paint - it would soak up oil stains like nothing else. You can still buy the powdered Silica in bulk from hobby/pottery suppliers. I have a excellent article on how to make your own flat military paints , in an old ARMY MOTORS from around 1980.Here we are https://www.norglass.com.au/products/flattening-agent
