Default Pre-Finished quarter round

I'm installing some quarter round molding, It is the pre-finished
fabricated kind of material that you buy to match laminate flooring.
My question is, since this molding will not be painted should the
finish nails be countersunk with a nail set and the holes filled?
Seems like they should but I'm not certain about filling nail holes on
molding that won't be painted. What is the correct thing to do?

Thanks,
Vic

Colored nails, deeply set. They will vanish more than puttied holes
would. If this is above a floating floor, remember to make sure the
nails only go sideways into the baseboard, not down into floor or into
the expansion space. Same place that sells the flooring and trim should
have the matching nails. If you accidentally make visible scars, they
also usually have matching marker pens to color over the oopsies with.
