Putty is used to fill cracks, holes, and imperfections, creating a smooth and even surface for painting. It allows for repairs and enhances the overall appearance of the walls. 

While it may be possible to skip primer and putty in certain cases, using them ensures a professional and long-lasting finish by improving adhesion, coverage, and surface preparation.
