Fixing drill holes in the dash?

I need to know what I can use to fill holes made by drill bits in my dash! Any suggestions?

TIA

Maybe a colored RTV sealant or colored silicone from the hardware store.
They have lots of colors to match bathroom tiles and grout colors and such.
I would try it out on a bit you can't see well and wait to see it dry before you commit.

What color do dash do you have?

Use snap caps. They come in many different colors and a couple of different sizes. Kinda makes the holes look OEM.

The previous owner of my 92 screwed stuff to the dash leaving a bunch of ugly holes. I was thinking JB Weld and paint.

That would probably work if you have a grey dash like mine the jb weld is about the same color.
