Damaged Rim

Hello friends,

I finally did it, hit a curb while trying to park too quickly and I scraped my front left rim.
Granted it's not scratched too badly, but it's going to bug me every time I see it.
Does anyone know of any products that I can use to cover it up?
Moreover, I have the 19 inch sport package rims, so I'm guessing they're aluminum and they won't rust but is that correct?

Thank you all very much in advance!

Dremel tool for that small of an area should work fine. If it was larger and deeper I'd say go to a pro shop. Basically you just want it smooth so it doesn't stare at you all the time.
