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.

Or just put siding on it. Aluminum or vinyl, or even hardy-board or

Masonite hardboard siding. ANYTHING looks better than a 4'X8' straw

bale.

It was going to side my solar wood kiln, so maybe the heat inside (polycarbonate surface plus painted black inside) makes the material even less desirable if heat affects its structural properties. I'm going to put the kiln behind the garage where it's not going to be seen very often, but I still don't like the look of painted OSB even back there. My materials list calls for 5 sheets of 4x8, so I'm looking at an additional cost of about $50.00 if I use good plywood.

Youl save that in paint.
