It is best to use an exterior primer outside, rather than an interior. While, the interior paint will work, it does not have the same protection such as UV protection, and fungicide protection that is found in exterior paints.

Can you use outdoor primer paint indoors?

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.

What is difference between cladding and panelling?

Cladding refers to the material applied to the exterior of a building for protection, insulation, and aesthetic purposes, often made from materials like wood, metal, or vinyl. In contrast, paneling typically refers to interior wall coverings, which can be made from wood, plaster, or synthetic materials, used primarily for decoration and to enhance the interior ambiance. While both serve to cover surfaces, cladding is primarily associated with the building's exterior, while paneling is focused on the interior.
