thereof and units derived from one or more acrylates, methacrylates, acrylonitrile,
or combinations thereof, (b) hiding pigment, (c) non-cellulosic thickener, and
(d) at least about 0.05 weight per volume percent fluorochemical acrylic polymer
additive comprising (1) at least one perfluoroalkyl moiety selected from the group
consisting of heptafluoropropanesulfonamido, nonafluorobutanesulfonamido, undecafluoropentanesulfonamido,
and tridecafluorohexanesulfonamido moieties and (2) at least one polyoxyalkylene
