Cigarette burns, best way to cover them up?

Post by dos »

My NAC has these two cigarette burns, I thought they wouldn't bother me but they're kinda starting to:

I know they're impossible to eradicate cleanly, particularly since the one on the right has burned through the white paint. I figure anything would look better than these, so what's the best option to cover them up? Looking for a type of paint and a technique, I know nothing about painting or that kind of work. It doesn't have to be a perfect restoration as if they weren't there, just want to make them not so obvious.

I have seen that thread already, there are no results and he had many light burns while I only have two dark ones. I am just wondering what kind of paint I should use to cover these up so they're not noticeable, I'm not looking to go to an auto body shop and have my whole cab sanded and painted.

Probably a white touch-up pen then? If you’re not gonna do it properly it will be good enough. They look pretty minor.
