Curb Rash Repair

So, I making a deposit after a long work day and got distracted and ruffed up my wheels , and was wondering if anyone knew of something i could to do to fix it? I would prefer not to spend a ton of money and to do it myself if at all possible.

Look it up on youtube or something. I know you can use body filler and paint over it and if you do it right they will look good.

They are stock tc wheels, and I have looked at some stuff, but most come with a "paint metallic match" spray can. My worry is that it won't match or will just bring more attention would be pulled to it. Now it's not bad, I just nicked it but still would like to try and fix it. I mainly posted to see if anyone had had any success with any kits or methods out there

Just sand paper and jb weld to fill. Then sand again. Then a paint gun with whatever automotive paint you like. Clear.

I've been wanting to find some paint that matches as well. I store my stock wheels in my moms garage over the winter and she dropped one face first on the concrete floor and scratched it up a little. Figured I'd just sand and repaint but idk what paint will be a close enough match.

I mean i've seem some paint that claims to "match" the paint already on there but I'm sceptical about it and don't really want to trust it. Honestly it wouldn't bug me a whole lot if it looked good unless you just stared at the specific spot, I'm just scared I'm going to paint it and make it look worse

Most auto paint stores have exact codes they mix. These are painted a Chrysler color.
