My first thought would be that the paint has not been mixed enough, matt paint takes a lot of mixing, but not knowing the finish of the White Ensign paint I'm not sure what would be considered normal for the paint. I also know the Revel paint can be a bit of a challenge as regards compatability so using thier thinners with a differrent paint may not work too well.

Assuming it is perfectly dry I would simply apply whatever washes and dry brushing you want to weather it with and then go over it with a top coat of clear matt finish.

If it is not perfectly dry then I suspect it has not been mixed enough or you have added too much thinners or the paint and the thineers are not compatible.

I know that the Revel system is enamel but I can't say for certain what the White Ensign paint is. If it hasn't dried properly then you may be left with no alternative than to wash it off with a paint thinners but I suspect you will get away with a matt clear final coat.
