You can cover up pin nail holes by using wood filler.

The provided reference suggests using DAP premium wood filler to fill in the pin nail holes. The video excerpt shows a person adding brad nails to trim and then directly applying wood filler to conceal the resulting holes.

Here's a general process for filling nail holes, which would apply to pin nail holes as well:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or debris.
  2. Application: Apply a small amount of wood filler to the nail hole using your finger or a putty knife. Slightly overfill the hole, as the filler may shrink as it dries.
  3. Drying: Allow the wood filler to dry completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  4. Sanding: Once dry, sand the area smooth with fine-grit sandpaper until it is flush with the surrounding surface.
  5. Finishing: Apply paint, stain, or another desired finish to match the surrounding area.
