When removing paneling what's the best way to cover/fill the screw holes?
I guess I mean the easiest way that's practical and presentable? I don't need them to remove all trace of them, just not to be sharp, rusty or an eyesore.
It's for a Kombi side door and tailgate that have been boarded over. I also need to get my post count up to get into sections to read about audio, cruise control, electric windows, window tinting, adjustable damping and possibly chipping :-)

Re: covering screw holes
You could possibly drill the screw hole out a little bit and fit some rivets.
Aluminium pop rivets or plastic push in rivets should suffice.

Re: covering screw holes
That might work well, the drilling would remove any curled out metal to make the rivet sit flush. I've just done a search and you can get both types in white.
