Default Wheel scruff and curbage repair

So I bought a set of CR kais and one of the wheel is pretty scruffed up. I saw wheelreviver and looked at their before and after on oem wheels which looked really beat up and curbbed like crazy on bmw, porsche etc and saw really good after pictures. The thing im worried about is color matching since my wheels are gun metal. Any other shops you guys can recommend?

Well you could sand down the scuff marks like i did on my lms, and then have the paint matched at a paint place and put in a rattle can, then just mask of the good parts of the wheel and paint the curb. Ive done it before lmk if you need help george

Yeah you could fill them with body filler then sand it all down. Theres paint shops that will take your wheel, and color match it, put in a spray paint can and you can use that. Its how i painted the hatch on my gti and the lip on my S. Its not 100 percent exact but if thats what you want just paint the whole wheel

Doesn't have to be 100% but a really damn close color match would be good for me
