The Golden Artist Colours INC. has conducted testing and research on using acrylic products for mural application. The varnish for our mural was some type of acrylic. The products to be used is a two-part like many urethanes and epoxies, water - based, acrylic co-polymer.
When painting a mural on an interior wall, with brushes, any good quality acrylic craft paint will do. You may want to topcoat a mural in a bathroom with a latex based polyurethane, to seal it from water/steam damage. If you are working with an airbrush, your standard acrylic airbrush paints will do just fine. For exterior murals use an exterior grade acrylic paint. Be sure the paint is colorfast as if you don't the colors may fade or change, causing the work to be damaged or lost.
Any flat paint (even enamel) will provide plenty of tooth for acrylics. As long as the mural is not going in a high traffic area (where it will be touched often and eventually need cleaning) it should be fine.

I have come across a similar issue. The answer is a product called "dead flat varnish" and it is made by a company called Modern Masters. You most likely need to order it on the internet, as it is not usually sold in stores. Good Luck!

When doing mural it is best to use a paint that has durability. Acrylics are great for that, however in my experience poster paints tend to chalk, are less light-fast (tend to fade) and are much less durable. If your mural is being done on windows, or paper for a temporary installation, then poster paints are fine.

Weather proofing? Are you hanging these things outside? If these are paintings that serve the usual purposes of hanging on an interior wall to be looked upon, you needn't worry about such things. Acrylic paintings are darned near bullet-proof. If, you're talking about a mural or hand-lettered sign, better to go with a good enamel paint.
