Is there a paint additive that will allow interior paint to work as exterior paint?
The only over-the-counter additive you could put into interior paint to make it more suitable for outside use is mildewcide. Interior paint doesn't really know that where it is going though. The reason a paint is classified as interior is because it is able to withstand cleaning. staining and scrubbing. Exterior paint, on the other hand, is formulated to withstand several freeze/thaw cycles and to hold up to UV rays, slowing the color fade. Avoid fade prone colors and expect to repaint withing three to five years.

What can you do if you accidentally used interior paint on an exterior surface?
It depends on the quality of the interior paint. If it's 100% acrylic interior paint, It should be fine outside if it's not in an area that is prone to mildew. If it is, you'll need to clean it with chlorine more often. If it is not a high end interior paint, it won't last long outside, especially on wood. If you're not in a cold weather area, you might get three to five years out of it. If you're in an area prone to freezing, it won't be that long. You need to repaint it while it is till a sound surface, otherwise you're making more work for yourself. Your other option is to just paint over it with an exterior paint if you want to do something about it now. Depending on the quality of the paint, this may be your best option since there will be a minimum of prep because the surface is already clean and sound.
