Hi, I purchased 428i couple months ago. Unfortunately, the previous owner was a smoker and there are couple cigarette burns on the headliner. (It was a great deal so I didn't mind it.)
Now I`m trying to get rid of those burns. Since they are not so deep I think I can paint with a matching color so it wont be that noticeable anymore. I searched on the internet a lot but I couldn't find anything about fixing cigarette burn on the headliner, and I don`t know if painting will work or not and which product I should use.
Have you guys ever dealt with this issue, do you have any suggestions?

It will always be there and visible: you have a texture deformation + you will never have a 100% match with using paint such as cloth paint: https://duplicolor.com/product/vinyl-and-fabric-coating . It will be better, but you would need to reupholster the headliner to get rid of the damage and smokers smell.

Good luck!
