how can I fix a scrap on my rim?

Hello all, I scraped one of my rims on a curb the other day and it looks bad. The damage is right by the tire and I was wondering if there is any way to fill that and make it look decent again? I have the painted rims by the way.

Thanks in advance.

Maybe you can answer another question for me then. Can I order the paint color for those rims through my dealership? I think I can fix them myself but I need that paint color.

check your yellow pages. We have a shop in our city where they specialize in rims a wheels o straighten, fix scraps, and refinish. best way to go compared to getting a new one.

hmm i dunno about that, go ask the parts guys. if they cant figure it out, any autobody/paint supply place can match the color. I had the local one match the paint code on my car, so I could paint my motorcycle that color.
