Interior vs. Exterior Paint: What’s the Difference?

Interior and exterior paints are formulated for different environments:

• Interior paint – Designed for durability and easy cleaning.

• Exterior paint – Resistant to moisture, UV rays, and temperature changes.

Choosing the Right Paint

• For walls – Use latex-based interior paint for smooth coverage.

• For exterior – Choose a weather-resistant formula for longevity.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using interior paint outside – It won’t hold up against the elements.

• Ignoring primer – A good primer ensures better adhesion and durability.

• Choosing the wrong finish – Glossy finishes work best for trim, while matte works for walls.
