I basically used the same method to paint the blind that I did on my 870. I just used a different pattern.
These are my first and second attempts at using this method and I've been pleased with the results both times.

Well we went to set it up tonight, but we only had about 30 minutes of daylight left. Luckily, it went together perfectly so it sent pretty quick. I just didn't get a chance to take a lot of pictures. I'll take more when I go back out this weekend.
I took one before it got to dark (it's missing the roof).
Here's one we took after dark with the roof. I still need to seal and paint between the wall and the roof. I just ran out of light to do it today.
For my first blind I am really pleased. I got in and drew my bow and it is plenty big. I was worried it may be a little small, but that's not the case, I've got room to spare.
I guess we'll find out how good of a job I did when I hunt it this weekend. I've been hand corning this spot for about a month and have good pictures of bucks. If my blind blends in well enough I'm hoping it want spook them off the area.

So, now you guys got me worried about the durability. I don't know much about build stuff so this was a learning experience for me. I haven't totaled it all up, but I think I spent about about $250 and have around 25 hours invested in this blind. I really don't want it to rot away within a year.
I was wondering what y'all thought about a spray on sealer? Would this help the durability of the OSB?
Something like this.
