How do you repair a chip in a wheel?

I just got a chip on my SE wheel. Should I just get some silver paint and just paint the chip? Any suggestions?

you can send it to a wheel repair facility where they'll strip the clearcoat/paint and redo the surface. if you don't want to do that(which takes about 2 days or less), then just live with it. it's going to happen again and again and again.

sprintmax said it might cost around 100 to redo it so i am going to my body guy to see how much it really is to repair. if its too expensive, i guess i will just live with it. I was planning on getting rims anyway...
