I'd be interested in what they say too. I have NEVER seen a can of interior
OR exterior paint with any kind of notice to NOT use it in the opposite
environment. I cross-use them all the time, depending on where I'm
painting, mostly shop, garage, porches inside & out, stuff like that.
Obviously there are differences, but they're no big deal re health, I'm
sure.
