Anyone DIY Macan curb rash repair?

I was thinking of getting Wurth Wheel Repair kit, but the kit isn't available. So in the meantime, I thought I would ask here how they did theirs and did they like the results. I have done this type of work before on a Mini and Infinti, but there was more detailed info. especially the paint, which is my main concern for the Macan as I want exact colour match.

I have repaired my 80's BMW wheels in the past with Wurth Silver Wheel Paint which is still available and it was a near perfect match. Some customers have said it was a good match on their late model Porsche's as well.

The repair process would be similar though, start with a 400 grit sandpaper or slightly less aggressive if the scratches aren't deep, and work your way down until the material is smooth.

Do you guys sell the wheel repair kit? Does Wurth have more than one Silver Wheel Paint or does BMW and Porsche use the same shade of Silver?

It seems like the main components of the Wurth Wheel Repair kit are;

Wurth Self Etch Primer
Wurth Silver Wheel Paint
Wurth Clear Laquer Spray

All in stock and available on the Pelican site.

There is a cleaning solvent and microfiber included in the kit as well but I am sure you could substitute an isopropyl alcohol and quality microfiber for the cleaning prep after sanding. It seems Wurth only offers one "silver wheel paint" marketed for all European vehicles.
