exterior paint

Building's outer finish

Exterior paint is paint formulated to withstand outdoor conditions—sun, rain, temperature swings, and mildew.

It contains more durable resins and UV-resistant pigments than interior paint.

We need to pick an exterior paint for the siding.

The term distinguishes it from interior paint, which prioritizes washability and low odor over weather resistance.
