Wheel Repair: Has anyone used touch up paint?

My right front wheel(stock 2007) has some curb damage but not enough to need replacement. Has anyone used a touch up paint and what kind, to cover the marks?

Hell I've just used silver caliper paint on mine before (spray can) - just along the edges and it's hardly noticeable. Just do a good job of sanding and masking , and if the area isn't too big, you can get away with a lot. ;)

The Dupli-color worked great. Really matches the wheel finish on stock wheels.

This was exactly what I was going to suggest. There is a posting about it on the Gen 2 and 2.5 Tutorial section.

Pretty good details on how to do it, from that link.
