Can you use exterior paint inside?
I purchased a really gorgeous lavender to paint the trim on my home, i have about a gallon 1/2 left, and wanted to use it for the trim/doorway/window sills in my bedroom. (the walls are paneling, but the door DESPERATELY needs painting!) Is it okay to use the left-over exterior paint in the house
If I remember correctly, it is latex semi-gloss, although it may be glossy. (i’m at work, so I cant go and check right now
)
Exterior paint contains certain fungicides and UV protective additives that are not approved for interior use. Because of the extreme conditions exterior paints are designed to endure, the strength of the preservative chemicals used may be unhealthy in closed inside areas.
