    Can you use exterior paint in the interior?

    bought the wrong paint and had it tinted. I don't think I can return it.

            Interior  paint should not be used out side as it does not have UV protectors and the extra protectors that exterior paints have.

              There's no reason why you couldn't use exterior paint inside the house....

                  Yes, but you must tear down all your walls.
