Paper backed exterior drywall was discontinued over ten years ago because the paper facing provides a food source for mold when sujected to moisture. The replacement product is a moisture resistant core with a fiberglass facing in place of the old paper facing.

How do you stain over water damaged wood?
Try using oxalic acid, also called wood bleach, on the water damaged area before attempting to stain the wood. If that removes the stain, sand the surface, use a wood conditioner or a clear stain as a first coat, then apply the colored stain. Once that's dry, apply a clear polyurethane for interior use, or a spar varnish for exterior use.
Can you mix interior paint with exterior paint for exterior painting?
The short answer is yes. If they are both of the same base (latex, oil, acrylic).More important how ever is where the paint is. If you are working out of doors, go right ahead, if however you are intending to paint an exterior paint over interior paint, indoors, then please do not do it.Exterior paints have a number of chemicals that make them more suitable to exterior conditions, and a lot of them are not good for you. The out-gassing process takes a lot longer and exposes you to potential harm.

What do you use for exterior drywall?
The terms Exterior and drywall are not compatible. Drywall is used on the inside of the wall and is protected by a suitable weatherproof surface on the exterior of the wall framing such as lapboards, stucco, exterior sheathing etc. All of these have a moisture barrier behind them to prevent water/moist air from contacting the drywall. Drywall will disintigrate and allow mold/mildew and fungus to grow when moist. Eventually it will fail completely. So-called "green board" drywall is used in bathrooms and areas subjected to moisture but only outside the bath or shower area. It is not suitable for anything other than a backing material if used in the wet area of a bathroom. It can reside behind cement board or other materials with waterproof qualities. Never adhere tiles directly to green board unless it is outside the wet area of the bath/shower.

This is only if when the water dries, the stain is left. If sheetrock is damaged, then you will have to replace it.
