Exterior paints Inside?

We recently received a call asking if it is alright to use exterior paint indoors and are answer was sweat and short. NO.  Exterior paints have high levels of chemicals in them that inhibit the growth of mold.  These mildicides can be harmful if they are released in closed spaces such as indoors.  Another reason is that exterior paints are meant to swell and contract with the seasons.  This softness makes exterior paints less than ideal for areas that are high traffic as they are easily gouged.  Always read your paint labels and follow the manufactures written instructions to be on the safe side.
