Default Curb rash on wheels

I am posting this to see if anyone has done anything as far as the curb rash on the rims or wheels? Curb rash I think happens to all. I had scrapped a bit and scarred a rim in the rear making a short turn in a supermarket. I know that one can sand it down, clean it and repaint it. As far as I can tell. If asked I'll post a pic of what mine looks like to see what others compare to.

Curb rash does not happen to all if you’re aware of where all curbs are around your car. I’ve never curbed a wheel.

I recommend against a DIY repair. Your best option is to call your local dealer and ask if they’ll recommend someone for you. Most dealers have vendors.

i did scrape my wheel on my 2013 and found a guy who would come to your house with a van and do repairs. He sanded, buffed, primered and painted the wheel and when finished the repair could not be seen. $40.00 per wheel... The novice couldn't make a repair this good. I would recommend you search around online and perhaps you''ll find a similar service in your area.
Most of these guys do work for the area car dealers and work from a travelling van with many shades of gray wheel paint.
