I used it in a storage room in the basement. Painted with semi
gloss. My experience:
1. It will soak up an amazing amount of paint.
2. some of the chips will loosen and lift edges.
3. It makes an acceptable cover (depending on code) and reflects
light well but 'looks good' is not in its job description.

It would look like painted panels with depressed joints and lots of
screw/nail heads.
It is *not* a big deal to tape joints or apply compound to the (slightly)
depressed screw/nail heads.

Even worse. Actually, painted OSB except for the problems I mentioned
does not 'look bad' either. It is a quite acceptable wall/ceiling
cover for a shop, garage, utility room...well, I wouldn't use it in
any room with a direct connection to a livign area. I have a garage
that has no interior wall cover. Were I to put one on, I would
probably dry wall and mud but wouldn't hesitate to use OSB painted.
If you already have it up, paint a panel or two and see what you
think.

It would look alot better than painted OSB...LOL...But I would atleast tape
the joints and spot the screws....A perfect chance to practice.....No need
to "finish and sand"...It will look fine just taped for a garage....Good
luck....
