You shouldn't. Primers are made to adhere to a surface and/or bind loose particles. Interior paint, and some exterior paints for that matter, could easily become detached from wood and stucco over time and won't hold back tannin stains on wood.
If you are painting over a clean, sound surface that's over a month old, then you can get away with using two coats of 100% acrylic exterior paint.

∙ 11y agoYes, chances are that you can use an exterior primer indoors. Most primers are clearly marked as interior/exterior right on the front of the label, and those that are marked as exterior usually have applications for interior use too. For example, most masonry surface sealers that are used to bind chalk on the outside of a building also work great when painting over damaged drywall. Unless the primer clearly says "not for use indoors", you should have no problem at all using it inside. Just be sure that you are using the correct primer for your applications, and if you're uncertain, call the manufacturer. They are always glad to answer your questions.

NO! I cannot remember how many times when I worked in a paint section that I would have to go out to people's houses who had put interior paint on the outside. I promise you. I guarantee you it will be coming off within months, if not days or weeks. It says INterior. IN IN IN, not OUT. Don't go there. AND, if you let paint freeze, it will turn into this nasty gooey mess and will NOT work after freezing... And it will be very obvious when you bring it back because something is "wrong" with it.

What paint can you use on a plastic sign?
If you are painting lettering directly to the plastic, there are single part epoxies that are available, some suitable for outdoor use, that would adhere to plastic without having to use a primer. If you are going to paint the background a solid color, you can use a special primer, formulated to adhere to plastic, then paint it with an acrylic paint which can then be coated with the same type of acrylic paint for any lettering and design.
