What's the secret to painting OSB so that it doesn't look like painted

OSB? It doesn't have to be great, just not so cheap-looking.



Thanks.



Indoors or outdoors? If outdoors stucco. If indoors a hopper gun and mud.

I should have been more specific. Outdoor. But as Mike says, maybe I should just use a decent ply.

Thanks.

Considering it is used for sheathing and is glued up wafers... you would
think it does well outdoors. But I have found it rots fast, blows up
when water gets into it... (considering it's mostly glue I don't
understand that).... Also I think the sun will cause it to fail if not
treated. I can't be sure, but I have seen OSB turn black and just flake
away, my suspicion was sun and heat.. but it could have been for other
reasons... I'm not sure... so I don't consider it a good outdoor wood,
without protection.
