Scraped my wheel on a curb

Okay, so I kissed a curb with my wheel while parking, and gouged up it's edge (sigh). Anyone know if there is such a thing as touch-up paint or another cheap fix for the wheels? Mine are silver S-lites. Thanks

Yes, I have fixed a MINI wheel with practically flawless results using THIS paint. I filed the damage smooth, and finished it with 1500 grit wet/dry sandpaper. I then blended in the paint and was amazed with the results. You can also spray the paint into the lid and brush on for small lip repairs or scratches or thin it and use an airbrush to spray it for finer results on smaller areas. I am quite pleased with the results.

Here is a shot of a repaired Audi wheel which is the same color as the MINI wheel.
