Weathershield paint on interiors

[Karen Grace]

What about using weathershield exterior paint on interior window surrounds that are exposed to a lot of sun? Would the paint set properly and last longer than interior paint?

Depends on how much rain you are getting in your living room.

I looked into that years ago. Some outdoor paint is too toxic for indoor use.

Surely these days with all the good stuff being taken off the market by Elfin safety all paint available to the general public is safe to drink? :)

I know one thing, on the front of my house even outdoor gloss seems to crack in a couple of years no matter how well the preparation was. Maybe I should use a differentcolour to black. I thought of getting it all taken off and trying white instead. Does anyone know if its the black colour that makes it crack in the sun? As for indoors, what I need is a little pump to suck up the condensation on the window sill of my spare room.... Brian
