Most acrylic paint is thinned with water. The instructions regarding this are on every paint can I've ever seen. They ALWAYS specify the cleanup liquids and thinner. - Be aware that the term 'acrylic' covers many types of paint.

Can you paint flat paint over an acrylic paint?

Do you realize that you can get FLAT ACRYLIC PAINT. Flat paint refers to the gloss level. You may want Gloss, Satin, Lowsheen or Flat. Acrylic paint on the other hand refers to what the paint is based on or what binder is being used. Acrylic paint is also refered to as waterbased paint. You most likely are referring to putting flat acrylic over lowsheen or gloss acrylic. In answer to your question - as long as they are both acrylic than you will not have any problems. I am in this answer assuming that you are referring you house paints. If not than the same principle applies - acrylic over acrylic is fine. To keep acrylic from going glossy just don't polish it.
