The aqueous volatile organic compound (VOC)-free coating compositions includes an acrylic latex and a vinyl acetate-ethylene latex including from 10 to 90 weight percent of a vinyl acetate-ethylene polymer, based on total weight of acrylic polymer and vinyl acetate-ethylene polymer, having a Tfrom &#x2212;20 to 20 degrees Celsius; and from about 10 to about 90 weight percent of an acrylic polymer, based on the total weight of acrylic polymer and vinyl acetate-ethylene polymer, the acrylic polymer comprising, in polymerized form, at least one ethylenically unsaturated (meth)acrylic monomer and from 0.01 to 10 weight percent, based on total weight of the acrylic polymer, of an acetoacetate moiety containing monomer, where the acrylic polymer has a Tof from &#x2212;20 to 20 degrees Celsius. A method of coating a substrate and substrate having at least one surface coated are disclosed.
