Exterior paint was not formulated for indoor use. Not only do exterior paints not wear and touch up as well under indoor use and abuse (Bob Vila), but exterior formulations contain chemicals that outgas, and these harmful VOCs (volatile organic compounds) create indoor air pollution. Interior for indoors, exterior for outdoors. Try the new low-VOC paints, which are better for your health.
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.
Probably, but I wouldn't recommend it. -There has to be a reason why they name things interior or exterior.
i bought 5 gallons of paint for the exterior of my mobile home, did not double check the paint after the clerk mixed it, took it home, gave it to my painter (spanish speaking only) and went to work. He paint half of my house and needed more paint....I went back to the same store, different clerk on duty and she mixed another 5 gallons of paint. This looked different but the labels read exterior semi-gloss, which is what I wanted. When I get home, I discover that the first clerk had mixed interior paint. what will happen to the interior paint on my exterior home.
Hello? Interior. I am guessing that your block fence is exterior. The answer is no. You can do it if you want to paint it again before it's time
Yes, according to the paint guy at Lowes. Use it yes but worry about damp walls need to breath
No, it is not recommended to use interior paint outside on your home's exterior surfaces. Exterior paint is specifically formulated to withstand outdoor elements such as sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations, while interior paint is not designed for these conditions and may not provide adequate protection or durability.
Exterior paint is not recommended for use on the interior of a house as it may not adhere well to interior surfaces and may not last as long as interior paint. It is best to use interior paint for interior walls to ensure durability and longevity.
Using exterior paint on the interior should not be a problem. You would only use exterior paint outside because it weathers better, which is not really an issue here.

Use a citrus based stripper that will cling to the wall and allow it to work overnight. However, an easier option would be to paint directly over the exterior paint with a good quality interior latex paint.
I wouldn't. I don't think they would have called it "interior paint " just for fun.

Preferably paint that has not already dried solid inside the paint can. I would highly recommend this type for most any use on an interior or exterior surface.

Look a little closer at the can: it probably says "interior-exterior." Not only CAN you do it, but many people use this paint in high humidity areas like kitchens and baths because it resists moisture better. You can even use oil-base paint inside, but that stuff smells REALLY foul. Plan to rent a room for the night if you do this.
