Can you use an interior latex paint as a primer on the exterior of house?
There are several reasons why you should not use exterior paint indoors.First, exterior paints contain mildew inhibitors. They used to use mercury;I'm not sure if they still do. But in any event, you DON'T want thesechemicals outgassing into your house.Second, exterior paints are designed to "chalk" as they weather. This isdefinitely undesirable inside your house.Third, exterior paints are formulated to be more flexible than interiorpaints, because they are subjected to a much wider range of temperatures. Thismeans that they don't dry as hard. IOW, indoors, they'll always be a bit softor sticky.Answer:In the US, house paints no longer contain mercury as a mildewcide.Inexpensive vinyl paints will chalk outside. It's not a design as much as a quality issue. 100% acrylic paints can withstand UV rays without chalking for several years.Interior paints are designed to be washed and scrubbed while exterior paints are designed to hold up to UV rays without chalking and to be flexible to withstand freeze-thaw cycles.

Can exterior paint be used interior?
No, both types of paint have different properties and uses. Examples of interior paint can include flat, semi-gloss, gloss and eggshell. For more inforation, look here: http://www.housepaintingtutorials.com/interior-paint-finishes.html I recently had to ask a rep at Sherwin Williams about this as a home that was purchased a few months ago was painted with exterior latax paint. So although not ideal exterior paint could be used indoors but it is not reccomended. Here is the answer I received: Hello, The DURA WEATHER MAXBOND paint in the attic room would not be a health concern after 3 months as long as the attic room was ventilated after application to allow the volatile organic compounds the opportunity to escape into the atmosphere. If the attic room was not ventilated, you may experience acute symptoms from overexposure to the volatile organic compounds in the air. These acute symptoms would include headaches, nausea, and dizziness. Often the same mildewcide which is used in interior paints is also used in exterior paints, but at a greater amount in exterior paints because mildew is more likely to grow outdoors in high humidity. The mildewcide that is used in the DURA WEATHER MAXBOND paint is commonly used in household plastic products like umbrellas and shower curtains, and it is used in many of our interior paints. It is an EPA approved broad spectrum fungicide which has been chosen because of its effectiveness against microorganisms and its low toxicity to mammals. This mildewcide is not volatile; consequently, it remains in the paint where it inhibits the growth of mildew on the surface of the paint. As a rule we do not recommend the use of exterior paints for interior applications because exterior paints are formulated to chalk and regenerate the surface. In exterior paints the binder resins are softer and additional chemicals are not added to make the surface harder. Consequently, exterior paints do not possess the scrub resistance which is a desirable characteristic of interior paints. For this reason we do not recommend the use of exterior paints for interior applications. Phil Manager, Regulatory Information The Sherwin-Williams Company

Can you use exterior paint in the interior of a home?
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.
