Can i paint the wall in my garden with ceiling paint?

No. But I have heard cowboy decorators boasting that they have with no real consequences.Can i paint the wall in my garden with ceiling paint?
There are exterior, water-based masonry paints that have prolonged life in all weathers. True, they do not last as long as oil based but will suffice. Oil based can be messy and more expensive. You could paint the wall with ordinary emulsion, it is cheap and has the desired effect for a shorter term of life, you will be surprised at the outcome. If you don't mind painting it again in a couple of years then paint away.Can i paint the wall in my garden with ceiling paint?
You will be wasting your time and the paint because the weather will wash it off. Although masonry paint is relatively expensive it is formulated to resist the extremes of weather such as frost, rain and sun.
No you'll need an outdoor paint because it will be more durable to the weather.


It may mean you'll have to spend money buying new pain but at least it means that it will stay on and you won't have to repaint in a few months!
you could but if it rains in the night you'll have to do it again , emulsion is water based , you need paint that's oil based for your wall .
You can if you don`t mind it being washed off when it rains


Masonry paint is relatively cheap %26amp; easy to apply %26amp; available in many colours
Of course you can. You could paint it with golden syrup if you wanted to. You live how you want to live.
You can if you want to but,It will wash off in the rain use Masonry paint
