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?

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.

A wood primer is a chemical that is applied to the surface of the wood and is intended to adhere well to the wood surface on one side and any undercoat paint applied on top. Sometimes the primer contains components designed to fill the grain of the wood so that when sanded down a smooth finish is obtained (sometimes these grain fillers are used before the primer). The purpose of a primer is to ensure that the paint coat does not peel off painted wood.
