How many oak stickers did he put on birch? I may be able to get enough to send you the correct ones.

Fast Caps are not available in “custom colors” unless you want to commission an entire run of them - tens of thousands.  Not really practical even for luxury kitchens. 

Yours don’t match because the wrong species was selected. Looks like he used oak amd you have maple or birch interiors. Hard to tell from here on my phone. 

Anything will eventually come off /out.  Even filler custom painted.

If you don’t want to see the screw holes or caps/covers  - there are techniques to eliminate them.  It’s expensive and time consuming though.

Totally agree on everything you said. Unfortunately, where I work prefers us to do it quickly. I usually hide screws behind hinges. When they have to be exposed, I use Fastcap covers. Luckily, we primarily use white melamine for cabinet interiors.

I never covered screws. Just made sure all were countersunk correctly.
I stained the inside of all cabinet sides, and used black screws. Never had a complaint.

That's very generous of you, Garry! Thanks for the offer. I see maple stickers on Amazon but no birch or poplar. I'll pm you.

Once you load your cabinets up you won’t see them.  You’ll soon forget they’re even there. That’s my experience.
