Don is right. Use MDO, I use 1/2", then use a good oil based paint. Also
be sure to paint the edges and inside any holes you may drill for mounting.

I'd use mdo plywood, you are on your own for paint. Try talking to a sign
painter.

When I was in the biz, we used MDO, filled the edges with spackle then
primed them with alcohol base primer. Then painted the whole panel,
front and back with a foam roller using "Ronan" brand enamel.

surprised at the incredible finish you can get with a foam roller once
you get the hang of it.

I've found them to be awesome for painting metal doors.
