Requires more distemper because of high absorption

Requires more distemper because of high absorption

Cost

Less ultimate cost due to long life span, no Primer cost, low paint absorption

Ultimate cost is high

Ultimate cost is quite high

Durability

More durable due to good binding property

Less durable

Less durable

Look

Better appearance due to very high whiteness (Min. 93%) of Putty

Appearance is not like J.K. Wall Putty due to its yellowish base

Yellow surface is achieved

Primer coat on base surface

No requirement of Primer Coat
