Should I buy interior or exterior paint for the inside of my garage? I have been given conflicting advice by "experts?
Well right now I am scraping off a painted textured wall in my 3 car garage. It was just textured finish when built in 1990. I got a free 5 gallon bucket of interior latex 10 years later and decided to paint over the textured walls.
All was well for about 3 years. Then all the texture separated from the drywall surface. Now I have to scrape every square inch of it off the walls.
I will probably seal the bare paper and joints now with Bullseye Shellac prior to repainting with a good exterior paint. I will never paint the textured ceiling! LOL .

This is a connected unheated garage and the walls are drywall. This is for the Mid-Atlantic states of the US (Pennsylvania). Exterior color choices are more limited than interior.
You can get Exterior paint tinted to any color, just like Interior. Unless perhaps you're choosing from premixed colors? Maybe look for paint somewhere else than you're looking now.
You should think about the usage of your garage. Plenty aren't painted at all, so on those grounds, if all you want is some color, any kind is fine. If your garage isn't going to be opened to the elements (ie, more of a storage shed than a place for the car), again, interior should be fine.
If you are going to be parking in there or leaving the door open while you do projects, you should consider exterior. It will be more fade and weather resistant.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
