Whats the difference between Interior and Exterior Latex paint? Can they be mixed and used indoors?

The difference is in the resin concentration. I suggest you not to mix them, it may have side effects(it really depends on what else is inside it). Why don't you use them separate? The one for exterior on the wall that has a lot of sun contact and the other for the rest..Whats the difference between Interior and Exterior Latex paint? Can they be mixed and used indoors?
I would not mix paints. Usually an exterior paint has a more durable sealer in it. I also would not use an exterior paint on the inside. Go buy some good quality paint suitable for the application.





When you look at what it takes to prep any surface for a good finish, the cost of the paint is negligible when compared to your time.Whats the difference between Interior and Exterior Latex paint? Can they be mixed and used indoors?
Exterior is a tougher based paint to with stand the outside elements. I don't know of any reason you could mix them and use inside. I would first check with the manufacturer just to be on the safe side.
