Cure for wheel curb rash?

My passenger side front rim has a minor but anoying case of curb rash. I was just wondering if there was a way to fix it or make it look a little better than it does now.
Thanks in advanced

I had this issue on my old 4th gen. I purchased a testors chrome paint pen from Wal-Mart in the model car aisle. It matched the finish very well, but required reapplication every so often. Quick and easy though.

I had those exact 5-spoke SE rims and the chrome pen matched nearly perfectly.

Or for $100, you can take it to a body shop and have it resurfaced.

Resurfacing looks like azz! Fix it yourself for $30.

Use the exact same paint as what he uses.

What paint color should I use for my Anniversary Edition Rims? They seem like they have a different color than the stock rims so please let me know what color and where I can find it.

When I had my MM Evo 5's, I went to Pepboys and picked up silver wheel paint for $5. I sprayed a piece of paper with primer and then with the silver wheel paint. It didn't come even close to matching. The gray primer matched better than the silver paint.

The AE will be difficult to match. Check with DaveB and find out if there is touch up paint or if the wheel paint comes in a can. You can also check online for wheel paint using the paint code (if there is one for the wheels).
