However, although artistic paint is much better than latex paint. At present, some people choose to make artistic paint, but it is still much less than the number of people who make latex paint.
There are several main reasons

1. High price

The price of artistic paint is the main reason why it cannot be fully promoted at present. The main reason for the high price of artistic paint is
— Expensive materials.
The materials of artistic paint are 1-2 times more expensive than latex paint.
— Expensive labor.
The construction of artistic paint is very demanding on the professionalism of the construction personnel. Moreover, the construction speed is slow and the construction period is long. This results in the fact that the working hours required for making artistic paint are much longer than those for making latex paint.
Combining the above two points, the price of making artistic paint will be 3-4 times more expensive than latex paint.

2. The flatness requirements for the putty base are relatively high

The flatness requirements for the putty base of artistic paint are high, otherwise it will affect the later decorative effect. At present, many workers can only do the smoothing process when scraping the putty base. And the flatness is also difficult to meet the standard.
If you want to do it in one step, you can only do rib leveling, but the budget will be much higher.
If you use multiple scraping, although you can barely meet the requirements, it will cost a little more.

3. Difficulty in repair

The third problem faced by artistic paint is the difficulty in repair.
If the white latex paint is damaged, the repair is relatively simple, and it will not leave any traces.
But if the artistic paint is damaged, it needs to be repaired. The difficulty of repair is much greater, and there will basically be color difference. It will leave traces. Although the artistic paint is hard and difficult to scrub, it is not a tile after all, and damage is inevitable. Therefore, this problem also needs to be considered when using it.
