Scraped my rim against the curb =(. How to fix?

I have the new '05 19 inch alluminum alloy rims and I slightly scraped my rims against teh curb while parking the other night. The rim has like a 2-3 inch scratch which isn't noticeable unless your face is about a foot away from the rim, but I'd like to be able to fix it just for ease of mind. Is there anything you can buy at a auto store to touch up these sorts of things? Thanks guys.

It can be fixed, but you should get it done by a professional wheel repair tech. Probably cost you between $100-$150. Goodluck!

Velvet touch in San Diego is mobile and can fix it. They do wheel repair for dealerships.

look up curb rash, wheel repair on google.

I fixed my our for about 25bucks, and you can't tell at all!!!

Sanded down the rash, cleaned it really well, bondo, sanding, cleaning, masking, painting, sanding, painting, sanding, painting, sealing, sand, seal, sand, seal, light scratch-x, zanio-zanio-zanio.... It about 4 days, good as new!

I was wondering how much Velvet Touch would charge to repair a small scrape after I curbed my wheel. I live in North County San Diego and I curbed my wheel just yesterday. I've only had it for less than a month, too!
