Default Cig Burns

I have a couple of cig burns in an otherwise very nice original black std vinyl interior in a 68 Camaro. I do not want to replace anything with repro stuff. Is there a process to fix the burn marks? The vinyl is not burnt through just melted.

First thing....whatever you do or whoever you use to get it done, make sure you practice techniques in an unseen area or scavenge an excess piece to practice matching colors etc. without heading to the trouble spot first! . Colors can change greatly after drying so the practice piece needs a chance to change if it's going to then alter your process and/or materials as req'd. . That said, there's a process where you make a mold piece of the grain pattern from a good area then apply this mold to the wet repair area allowing it to take on the grain pattern. . As long as the color is right the results can be unbelievable! ~ Pete

Found a guy that makes vinyl repairs for car dealers. The results were outstanding. I am in CT and I think he travels most of the state, if you need this type of repair PM me and I will give you his contact info. Price is reasonable
