Gloss Clear Coat vs. Matte Clear Coat

Hey, is it possible to put matte clear coat OVER a gloss clear coat? I know it's an odd question, but I'm trying to "ghost" a letter on the hood of a model car that I'm building for a friend's birthday. Her name is Jamie, and I want to put a ghost J on the hood of the car I will build, but I'm going to be using a Cobra Colors 3 part system. As such, I think it would be best to spray the whole car in the color, then clear the whole car in gloss clear with two light coats. After that, I was planning on masking off almost all of the car, except for the J on the hood, and spraying the car in a matte clear coat. Then, after two coats of the matte coat for the J, I was going to finish off the car in a few more coats of Cobra Colors gloss clear. Do you think that would work? And also, do you know of any fairly cheap matte clear coat? My dad can use whatever I don't on his model tanks, so I don't think quantity is an issue. Or is there an easier way to get the effect I'm going for?
