Using Exterior Smooth Masonary Paint Indoors (acrylic Formula) ?

ronan45 · 2011-11-23 10:59:23

Hi Guys. Is it ok to use Exterior Smooth Masonary Paint Indoors (acrylic-Formula)? I have about 30 Litres left over from a paint job. Not being tight fisted but waste not want not is my motto! If its not a good idea Ill buy some interior Paint. Any advice :)

Some brands contain small amounts of fungicide to inhibit mould growth, so using it on very large interior wall areas mightn't be a great idea. Guy I worked for used to swear on it for bathroom ceilings though for that reason.
Bear in mind too that it's usually a breathable finish which will let moisture through to substrate...not ideal in an area with a lot of moisture that was previously painted with sheened paint since it may blister over time.

How the hell did you end up with 30lt let over?
