Best Answer

You don't really need anything to bind acrylic to common painting surfaces. Acrylic paintings (non-alla prima) made on illustration board are often made by using a thin acrylic wash to fix a line drawing to the board. The painting is then built up in layers. The reason to gesso a stretched canvas is two-fold. One reason is to seal the surface, but the other is to secure and tighten the canvas upon the stretcher bars. Therefore, if working on canvas board, a thin acrylic wash will do you just fine.

Can you use outdoor primer paint indoors?

You shouldn't. Primers are made to adhere to a surface and/or bind loose particles.

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.
