Using indoor paint outside, on wooden horse jumps?

I have been given some free leftover paint. I think it was all used indoors on walls. I'd like to re-paint some wooden horse jumps that need it badly, but the jumps are kept outside year round. Could I use this paint on the jumps? What happens when you use indoor paint outside?Using indoor paint outside, on wooden horse jumps?
Everyone here said it correctly but I will add one little thought to this. The hardest part of doing a paint job is not buying the paint, but in the prep work and labor of the painting. Why would you go through all that work just to see it all come off in another year and then have to restart the entire project over again? Keep the left over paint for something indoors and buy a quality outdoor paint for your horse jumps.Using indoor paint outside, on wooden horse jumps?
Don't put it on jumps.... it'll chip and flake and crack like all get out. I guess you can, it won't do so well though.
Indoor paint doesn't have the properties in it that are suitable for exterior surfaces. The paint will fail sooner than if you had used an exterior paint.
Now that you might be looking for some quality outdoor paint, General Finishes just came out with a new exterior paint that's water based and therefore safer for you, your horses, and the enviroment.

If the paint is labeled ';Interior'; it won't stand up to rain, snow, dew, and sunshine. It will alligator, flake, chip, and/or peel in fairly short order. under a year, maybe even half that.





Some people do use exterior paint inside, so check the label. Maybe you'll be lucky!
