Curbed Curbed Curbed

So I almost got into an accident where I got cut off and I basically curbed my front-right rim. The damge was a lot less than I thought when I actually hit the curb. I thought that i ****ed up the entire side fenders.

My question is, do you guys know of any liquid paint type finishes that I can use to touch up the rims. It is only curbed around the outer edges of the rim and you kind of have to know it their to notice it but just the same I want to touch it up. I don't want to pay 150 dollars for rim repair.

PS.
Anyone notice car accident always sound a lot louder and worse they they actually turn out to be?

Yea, car accidents do sound louder from the inside lol.. when I curbed my wheel at a drive thru I was like... **** I'm screwed, thats $200 down the drain.. because it sounded sooo bad. I went home and buffed the curb scratches with Meguair's Scratch X... It did an ok job, you can barely even see them up close now. I would try it out... but it depends how bad they really car. Good Luck!

Isn't ScratchX only useful for swirls and light scratches on the paint? How did you buff out scratches on aluminum.
