Can someone help me fix the curb rash on my Turbo twist??

Hey guys. I am new to this forum so If this is in the wrong spot please let me know or you can move it
I just bought some turbo twist wheels that have a curb rash for a good deal and I was wondering if anyone has seen or know about someone posting a DIY for fixing up these wheels with curb rash??
I was searching but couldnt find any so all the help will be appreciated

Here are the pictures of the wheels that has the curb and I also posted a thread I found for VW oweners on how to fix Longbeach wheels. (http://www.passatworld.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2183943)
Does anyone know the name of the color of these wheels or a place I can find the stuff to fix these. Thanks alot.

There is 2002 Porsche silver color (found at Professional auto paint supply store) that would make all four look as new. You have to sand them with 220 dry or 400 wet. prime them paint them and clear too.

Regards,

Last month Excellence magazine had a great article on how to repair and refinish wheels. I just did a set of twists this weekend with this info and they are perfect. Easy, inexpensive...just takes a little time. (I spent about $28.00 do do all 4)
