Painting Stage Apron

[tech2000]

Hey, I am going to paint my stage apron black again (painted it 4 years ago) and want to make sure it doesn't scuff or wear off. What type of paint is best for aprons and stages?

I was thinking of coating the apron with a polyurethane by Minwax (as we did 4 years ago and it worked) but do not know how to make the coating not shine after it dries.
Help!

Consider using intumescent paint. This will provide a layer of fire protection to the wood. Intumescent paint is available as a clear coat or in black (as well as other colors).
