Best Cheap Coverups

After removing the flip-up divider in my Bambi, I covered the hinge screw holes with a set of hooks. And in the member intros section today there's a post with pics of an really good looking brass heart patch covering some exteriors holes. So made me wonder what other clever and cheap cover up folks have made.

I guess the forum is as interested in my massive hook project as my wife is. She warned me 'uh, it's just a couple hooks, get over it'. I was...sniff... proud of my ability to cut AND paint a little piece wood. Although, I did manage to drop the wet painted wood on all of my shirt and pants, and somehow on my hat?

Maybe people would be more excited if you'd used Byam Hooks?

One "cover up" I've used from the forums is rivets. Just put 'em in any left over hole after your latest modification. Makes it look like they belong with no unsightly holes to ponder over.

Way back when we first acquired our MH, we removed the dinette in our galley and replaced it with a table which is attached to the wall. We took the MH to JC to have it done. Any spare holes in the wall were filled with rivets. They all look pretty "official".
