I think you could smooth it with a dremel tool in minutes without even taking the wheel off, follow it with a little gray/silver/black (mix it yourself) touch up paint, a little clear on top, you'll hardly notice it.

usually if you get there early he'll get it done by the afternoon. btw, the shop looks sh1tty and he looks the howard stern, but he does good (sometimes slow) work. last time i was there, i walked into a guy bragging about how great my car was to some other guys... and that guy had a maserati quattroporte
