NTB banged up my rim!

This may sound stupid, but I wanted to try anyway. I brought my max to NTB yesterday for an alignment. When I picked up my car I noticed a scuff on the one of the rims. It's right where the rim meets the tire. It look like someone drove it and curbed it. Before this my rims were flawless! Any way to smooth it out or any filler or anything I can use. Like I said it may be a stupid question because I don't think there's anything I can do, but I thought I'd try because I've had good luck with solid responses from the ORG.

Thanks

There is a filler that you can put on there and then spray paint, then clear coat. Check for this on google. its a do it your self job.

Now that sounds like solid advice if I've ever heard it.
