Yes, but it won't work as well as exterior paint. The difference may not be visible in the short run though. But interior paint formulations do not include such additive as moldicide/fungicide that help paint resist wet exterior conditions, or stronger elastomerics that help paint better expand and contract with the outside temperature fluctuations, or sun protectors and special pigments that resist fading. Outside paint also create stronger/more durable surface film for better surface protection.

Can you use interior paint outdoors and seal it to make it weather proof?
No, most interior paints do not have enough freeze-thaw flexibility nor UV resistance to be used successfully outside. If you seal it with an exterior paint, that will take care of the UV issue, however you would want to seal it with a 100% acrylic primer, then coat it with a high grade paint to overcome the freeze-thaw problem. Neither interior nor exterior paints are weatherproof, only weather resistant.
