Did you use thinner to thin the flat coat? Too much thinner could have caused this problem. Also, I have recently bought a couple of MM Acryl paints that were so thinned down that the paint ran off the model and went gloss where it did stick.

okay, i had the same problem a while back, put a pencil all the way at the bottom of the jar and see if there is a 'gooky' mixture down there, if it is, what that is is settling pigments from the paint, you need to stir all that up and make sure no pigment is settled, mix it all in, and try again.... :
