Trim on the top and bottom finished it off and hid the staples. It's one continuous piece, too, so that alone looks pretty neat in there.
Man...this is ingenious.

I too did my walls with OSB because I didn't want the fragility of drywall. I opted to paint them - I just rolled on a few layers of Kilz primer, thick and white.

Your vinyl sheeting above looks amazing.

I wish this thread existed before I did my garage!
