I have a few cans of paint left over from my previous house and I would like to use up the remainder if possible on my current apartment Interior I'm painting with acrylic. keep in mind this is not a really expensive apartment with high end fittings etc. It is an older apartment, brick exterior and it good condition although the walls needed a lot of preparation due to the last paint job a number of years ago done poorly with peeling paint etc and rough walls.

My questions are:

1./ What could I use Exterior Gloss White on? I have half a 4 litre can of it and I was hoping I could either use it for the interior windows or use it as an undercoat sealer around edges etc where the old paint was rough.

2./ I also have nearly a full can of some green/olive colour paint. I have already used some of it to tint my paint for a bedroom for a white with olive tint. What I was thinking is using it as a base coat for the kitchen and then putting a final 2 coats of it but making it also a more of a white with olive tint. Would this be OK?
