Matte finish over gloss laminate?

So I clustered up an order. I had three 42" x 42" digital prints (oracal 3651) and laminated with gloss laminate. Got them in, mounted them to Gatorfoam, cut them to shape, sanded the edges, and called my customer.

Then I found out they were supposed to have a matte finish (my fault, not theirs)

I'd just use the big squeegee to cover them with a matte finish laminate but nobody sells it by the yard and I don't want to spend $180 on a roll that I'll never use (I can reorder the prints for less anyway)

I'm in a little bit of a time crunch with this job so I'd like to avoid ordering new prints if I can.

Is there a roll on or spray on matte finish you think I can use?

All I've ever had is some Krylon Clear Flat that I tried spraying on some 651 for the first time a couple weeks ago, but that seemed to look decent. Cheap solution to getting a matte finish.

I have used both krylon matte clear and clear jet matte overlaminate rattle cans before and they worked great. Takes the shine right off and you can't see the spray...
