Zombie thread ... but a good one as this seems to be asked every so often.
 
Can you texture Duroc and paint it to look like a normal drywalled wall?

Would putting Duroc up with a one inch airspace allow for decent protection? Or does it need a stone or tile over it?
 
Durock could be used raw and still provide good protection. It's the 1" open, ventilated air space behind the non-combustible shield that is doing most of the work. A stucco coating may work if it bonds well to the cement board.
