I have been doing a bit reading and I notice for the matrix paneling there are four options for fastening: 1. C25mm 16 gauge 304 stainless steel brad nails. 2. 2.8x30mm corrosion resistant fibre cement nails. 3. 25mm countersunk stainless steel screws. 4. 25mm wafer or pan head stainless steel screws. It says a two part epoxy flush sealer and then a base coat is used to fill the countersunk screw heads. Obviously a lot more work but better finish. It seems that with the nails there is no filling of the heads, which I think would be ok at a distance but not good where the paneling is on a balcony. Anyone know what the nails end up looking like close up once painted?

You can just make out the heads on the picture I posted and I used ND brads that have a head about twice the size of C brads and once it is all painted I'm pretty sure you wont notice them. If you set up the gun correctly the nails sit flush with the sheet. I certainly would not bother screwing and filling when the paint will hide any heads. Even if you want to drive the nails slightly below the surface and fill the nail holes would be easier than filling screen heads.
