True Value Paint - Color Made Simple!


	Health Risks of Exterior Paint Used in Basement Question: What is the impact of using exterior paint inside? We used the True Value All Weather Exterior Paint on the inside of a basement. Should there be any difference in smell after 2 years? Is there any reason that this would be harmful? What is the difference between the interior and exterior paints? Is it a health problem? Answer: Exterior paint is not durable for inside use. It may chalk excessively and/or the paint would not stick to the surface if it needs to be repainted. Exterior paint also contains mildewsides/fungicides that may smell when there is high humidity. It can even pose a health hazard due to the greater concentration of these mildewsides that are not normally used inside. Exterior paint used indoors may also worsen allergies.
