i have some good quaility semi gloss interior paint, mould resistant stuff for our bathroom.
It happens to be the same colour as our exterior trimmings.

I have a wooden window awning i have made and undercoated and i am wondering if this paint would be suitable to use.
I know its interior paint but can it also be used for outdoors?

if it is continually under shade ...you may get away with it .....if it exposed to the sun ......you wont ....direct sun rays will dry it out and it will crack .....

Won't work. Interior paint does not have uv stabilizers in it:no:
