I have a gallon of Sears Weatherbeater Ultra Exterior, latex, satin paint that has polyurethane added to it. A very nice paint to work with. This gallon wasn't quite the right color for what I wanted it for. However it is a great color for one of our very small bathrooms (25 sq. ft. with shower that isn't used). Is there a reason I shouldn't use this exterior paint inside?

Since it's exterior paint, I would think it would hold up pretty well providing the surface has been properly prepped. Fumes may be a bit of an issue so you would want to keep the room well ventilated until the paint dries. Just my $.02 there, good luck!

Exterior paints are frowned upon when considering use in an interior space. They contain mildewcides and other unhealthy whatnots, and ext. paint is formulated to 'chalk off' over time. think twice before doing this.
