Question Rim rash - 437M fix?

Hey All!

I screwed up parking the other day as I was rushing for an exam and scratched the side of my left rear 427M rim!

It only scratched the grey outer part of the rim.

So I was wondering if anyone knows the best way to touch it up DIY?

What paint code / coating do I need so it's not as obvious?

Based in Perth, Australia,

Cheers!

Doubt that's as simple as a DIY paint job. Likely would need some filler to smooth out the damage.

For convenience, there are mobile repairers who can fix up wheel damage like that for around $150-$200 AUD.

I personally wouldn't bother with a DIY - could make things look even worse.
