Wheel rash

Just put first mark on my jwc

Scraped the wheel on a curb. It's a R113 black (glossy) alloy. Not too bad, just on the edge of the outside lip, two spots about 6" long each. Anybody have any ideas on a touch up paint? According to local dealer they have nothing for wheels but thought gloss black touch-up paint for Mini roof might work.

Thoughts appreciated.

of all colors black is the easiest to touch up, if you have gloss black wheels get gloss black touch up .

Ouch - I did the same thing on my winter wheel the first week.
