Painting OSB3

[george1981]

Hello,
My garage has two very old and weather beaten garage doors and that have taken the brunt of the recent winds and and are about to collapse.
I'm hoping make some made to measure doors for them in the spring when I've got a bit more time. But for the time being I'm planning on blocking the door with some OSB3 sheets screwed into the door frame, this is just to stop people getting in that way. What's the best way to paint OSB3 to make it look less conspicuous? The existing doors are black and I'd like to paint the OSB3 black so that it doesn't draw attention until I can make the new doors.
Many thanks
George

Just use a brush and a roller!

No, you need to use the right type of brush.

This should do nicely, and like they say a good job is never a quick job.

Part of my shed / garage is OSB3 painted with bitumen paint which adds the to the water resistance. Paint the cut ends well, since that is where water can get in, even in OSB3.

The best way to paint it ?
With a painting utensil ?
I just used a big brush, which is better at getting "into" the strands than a roller.

Thanks for the replies, I should have phrased my question better. I meant to ask what type of paint should I use. I had heard that certain types could dissolve the glue.
As suggested by Simon is Bitumen paint ok to use?
