Can I Use Exterior Paint Inside?

No, exterior paints should not be used to paint interior walls. You may be tempted to use exterior paint for interior walls, but this can be dangerous because exterior paints have higher levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making them more likely to off-gas or emit odor and chemicals into the air that are harmful especially if used in confined spaces. To paint the interior of your home, it's a better idea to use an interior paint specifically designed for indoor environments. In addition to paint, you may need other materials such as primers, sealants, and caulks. Make sure to buy these products from reputable suppliers and follow the instructions carefully. Doing so will ensure that your interior is painted properly and safely.
