Default Call your dealer and ask who they use for wheel repair

Or call a high-end body shop. The wheel paint is hard to match perfectly, but they can get really close. Expect to pay $100-150/wheel depending on your location.

Default could buy a new one and use the scratched one as a spare.

I bought my spare through them. If you curbbed the right rear if it's not bad just leave it because you'rr going to curb it again .... trust me :-(<ul><li><a href="http://genuineaudiparts.com/">http://genuineaudiparts.com/</a</li></ul>

Default the local wheel shop says he has to sand, then paint/coat all the wheel's surface,

(not just the thin scratched area-6 inhes long- where it joins the tire). Is that what you guys had done?
