One of the most common mistakes homeowners make is using interior paint outside or vice versa. While they may look similar in the can, interior and exterior paints are formulated very differently to handle their specific environments.
Exterior paint is designed to withstand UV rays, rain, temperature fluctuations, and mildew. It contains additives that allow it to expand and contract with the weather without cracking or peeling. In the Pacific Northwest, this is especially important due to our wet climate.
Interior paint, on the other hand, is formulated for low odor, easy cleaning, and a smooth finish. It's designed to resist scuffing and staining from daily life but wouldn't hold up to outdoor weather conditions.
