Another thought: "crinkle" finish paint. Since surface roughness is
what breakes up light. This stuff is available over the counter, but
a somewhat subtler effect I've used is to spray flat enamel, and then
when it's dry but not cured shoot a layer of flattening lacquer over
it. The lacquer crazes the enamel, being hotter, and you get a very
fine "crinkle."
