Default Scratch on rim of 2.7t sport wheel. How best to fix?

Through stupidity, I managed to just "nip" a curb last night. Instead of just scuffing the tire sidewall, this mistake actually deeply scratched just the very outer edge of the wheel rim for about 1 inch.

I'm thinking that I should carefully sand the scratched area smooth and then try carefully dabbing a little silver paint on the "wound."

Any other ideas/suggestions?

Jim, check the FAQ area under wheel/tire. Think there was a tip in there about that.

Default Thx! FAQ sounds familiar. I'd probably seen it and (consciously) forgotten about it. Sounds ...

as though my basic repair idea is fairly sound.

Any other repair ideas, anyone?

Please advise as to how your wheel repair looks. I too have a scratch on of my A-6's wheels but I fear making it worse.

Thank you - Alan
