Can You Use Interior Paint On Exterior Walls

May 30, 2020 / by Andrew / Leave a Comment

Watching any painting work being done on your home is one of the best feelings you will ever have because it means that the house is almost ready for you to move in! A lot of times, there will be interior paint which will remain unused due to whatever the reason maybe. I found myself in a similar situation when I had bought a house of my own and it was going through a paint job. The question of what to do with all this interior and exterior wall paint arrived and frankly, I just thought I will use the interior paint on an exterior wall of my garage!

The paint was just sitting idle in the corner of my basement and I knew it was a paint that was supposed to be used on the interior wall. Thus, I started my spiral journey into the world of paint and the fascinating things that I learned along the way. One of the most often asked questions that are the main difference between Interior paint & exterior paint. If you are arrived at this to find out the answer then read along!

Interior paint v/s exterior paint

Going by what they are called, it is obvious that one type of paint is useful for indoor walls while the other works best on exterior walls. One will find certain effects on the wall due to the interior painting and this can be said about exterior walls and their paint all. Let’s get on to the business and see what the main difference between interior paint & exterior paint is.

Exterior Wall Paint – When I was reading about what really makes any paint good for exterior walls, I realized that this type of paint basically has all the characteristics that are good for the ‘outside weather’. What it means, in theory, is that this type of paint will last you for a long time even if it rains, snows, or gets sunlight for a huge amount of time. The coatings on the exterior wall paint are thus different from those that you will use inside the house. This is the one main takeaway-information that I received when I was interacting with one of the painting services in Chennai.

Interior Wall Paint – The main difference between interior paint and exterior paint is that exterior paint can be used inside the house, but one cannot say the same when it comes to interior paint. The characteristics used for the paint to be used on the inside of the walls is that they are coated with a splatter-resistant, extra sheen, and are less capable of handling harsh conditions. It is thus much more suited for interior painting than the exterior.

Well, if you were wondering how to settle the interior paint v/s exterior paint debate, then this blog would have helped you get a clearer idea of the paints in question! To sum things up, you can use interior paint on exterior walls, but it is not advisable to do so because it is simply not good enough to survive the exterior weather.
