Exterior vs Interior Paint
Be careful of the type of paint you are using to paint your garage, however. You have two basic types of paint — exterior and interior paint. Using interior paint on the exterior of a garage door doesn’t adequately protect your garage from the elements. But using exterior paint on the inside of your garage door can actually be hazardous and poisonous to your health.
Exterior paint should never be used inside your home, including your garage, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). If you have used an exterior paint, you should cover it with an interior paint. This will prevent you from breathing in the fumes of an exterior paint overtime.
