What is the MIL Spec # for Powder Coat and is there a lusterless black available

I am wondering if there is a released MIL Spec # or any other government approved # for Powder coating. Is there a flat black finish available for this process.

For all of our Military work, we are tasked to accomplish powder coating in accordance with MIL-PRF-24712.
There is one other Mil-Spec which applies only to the fluidized method process for certain Military equipment.

A. There are no approved suppliers on the QPL. You must get a letter from the manufacture stating the powder coat meets or exceeds MIL-PRF-24712, type class, grade, etc. This document is a performance specification.
