If I wrote, {juH Hur vInguvmoH}, would you understand it as "I paint
the exterior of the house" ?

I would understand that as painting the areas outside of the house: the front yard and back yard, maybe even the street. But not the exterior walls.

Yes, I expect Hur means area outside rather than outer surface.

We have HurDaq tu'HomI'raHvetlh yIlan Get that piece of junk out of here! from KCD, which clearly uses Hur as area outside.

Paq'batlh uses it in

qamchIy HurDaq
    SuvwI'pu'Daj ra' qeylIS
    SaqSub yIjaH

Outside Qam-Chee,
    Kahless tells his warriors
    To go to the Saq'sub.

This, by the way, unambiguously uses ra' as a verb of saying.

Then there is

'ach botlhejQo' SuSuvQo'
    vItlhejbej jIH
    Hur ghom'a' wIqaD

Yet you will not join your blades with his,
    I for one will stand with him
    To face the hordes outside.

And this, by the way, gives an example of smooshing sentences together to form a single idea: you won't accompany + you won't fight = you won't fight together.

Anyway, all these examples show that Hur means area outside instead of outer surface.
