Exterior Residential Painting

Generally, yes. The truth is that exterior paints are infused with extra ingredients (more additives and chemicals) to improve their abrasion resistance, UV resistance, moisture resistance, and ultimately, durability. That means exterior paints can withstand inclement weather without succumbing to mold, mildew, chipping, or cracking. Interior paints, on the other hand, are rather basic and, hence, typically inexpensive. Thus, they don't match exterior paints in terms of protection and durability.

What Will Happen If You Use Interior Paint Outside?

You should never use interior paint outside. Typically, interior paints contain fewer additives than exterior paints. Lacking the special additives needed to survive outdoor elements like harsh weather, the interior paint may not last long outside. If anything, it will start producing cracks and eventually peel off your walls.
