How can I paint a fake leather headboard?

Yes, Bil. Just use a paint that is the finish you want, such as flat, semigloss, or gloss. If the fabric is cracked part of the way through, paint into the crack. If the crack is down to the webbed fabric, then use ModPodge or Gesso that you color with the same paint you have for the rest of the sofa. Use a small stiff paintbrush to paint the colored glue into the crack. Let that dry 24 hours and then paint the whole sofa. Each coat on the sofa needs 24 hours to dry, so don’t plan on sitting on the sofa for 3-5 days. And please show your work on Hometalk! ☺️
