A Green Card holder who is not a minor can file Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, to obtain US citizenship. Similarly, he must have become a permanent resident before five years and must have remained as a permanent resident in America for at least five long years.
Now, flat paint is (usually) a latex paint that dries without a reflective finish-that's it-the finish is smoother (imho) than chalk paint. Chalk paint really dries quickly and it has a rough texture to it after it dries. Many people use wax or poly-acrylic sealant on top of their furniture piece to keep the paint from peeling. So there ya go, my best explanation.
Annie Sloan developed her now famous decorative paint, Chalk Paint Â® , in 1990. Back then, there was no paint available with the properties Annie was looking for, so she decided to develop her own. She came to choose the name âChalk Paintâ because it was suggestive of its very mattâalmost chalkyâfinish. Chalk Paint Â® is different. It is not simply paint with chalk added to it. It is not chalkboard paint. It is not made by adding plaster of Paris or grout or even baking soda to an existing paint. Chalk Paint Â® is the unique decorative paint Annie Sloan developed for furniture, floors and walls, drawing on a lifetime of research and experience in working with paint and colour.
