In computing the actual cost of paint--i. e. its cost per unit area of surface per year--again two vari ables must be considered. Just as coverage and price per gallon are the two factors which go to make up the true initial cost of a paint, so durability and initial cost are the two factors which go to make up the actual cost of paint. It is not practicable to give definite figures as to the durability of a paint. So many purely local factors affect the life of a paint film that the buyer must be guided by his own experience or the experience of others in his locality in estimating the life of paint. Generally speaking, paint films last anywhere from two to ten years. Suffice it to say that the superior durability of white-lead paint will, as a general thing, give it the lowest cost per unit area of surface per annum.
