Interior vs Exterior Paint: What's the Difference?

Many people wonder if they can use the same paint inside and outside...

Key Differences

Exterior paints contain UV-resistant pigments and flexible resins that expand and contract with temperature changes.

Interior paints are formulated for low odour, easy washability, and smooth finish.

Can You Use Exterior Paint Inside? Technically yes, but it's not recommended. Exterior paints have higher VOC levels and stronger odours.

Can You Use Interior Paint Outside? Absolutely not. Interior paint will crack, peel, and fade within months when exposed to weather.
