    It's a crappy paint job, but it's brighter now.
    Looking good David.
    I was wondering what sprayer and paint you used?
    I have the same situation I am dealing with trying to paint some OSB. Tried my air sprayer, nope, tried rolling, uses way to much paint and doesn't cover everything. Just ordered a Wagner electric sprayer to try.
    I am not saying go kill all the stupid people......
    I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem sort itself out.

    I used a Wagner Power Painter Plus and $25 per 5 gallon bucket of Menards all in one primer and paint.

    My shop walls are OSB but I skim coat with drywall compound first. It results in a much smoother surface. Much easier to paint too. I rarely sand, I just put some mud in a pan and force it into the voids of the OSB. Wait a day or two and paint. You can still see it's OSB but it's flat and reasonably smooth.

    Sounds like a good idea. I'm not very picky about my walls though. They're white now; good enough.

    I finally got a couple days to work on my shop. I finished the ceiling and got the lights up. I am going to call the building done. Now I can work on getting tools set up. Still pretty busy at work, so it might take a little while.


    Home depot didn't help too much. I bought the lights and bulbs at the same time a couple months ago.They sold me the wrong bulbs.


    Hopefully, I'll be working on my first project soon!
