Is exterior paint ok for painting interior walls?
You shouldn’t feel too bad. This was your salesperson’s fault at the paint store. Unless you specifically asked for exterior paint, the salesperson should have asked you where you were going to use the paint and would have made it very clear to you, the kind of paint you SHOULD BE using. I would lay this problem at the feet of the paint store. They need to take the paint back or make an adjustment on INTERIOR PAINT. Do not put exterior paint on the interior of your home. It is a distinctly different blend of paints and chemicals. Use only INTERIOR paints INSIDE your home. Don’t think of it as being “screwed”. We all make worse mistakes than this…and I still say I would not let your paint store OFF THE HOOK. IT’S THEIR FAULT. ( I honestly believe this has happened at the store before and they know just how to handle it.
