Default Scraped my Rim..what to do?

Stupid me, I was pulling out of school on my lunch break and I wasnt really paying attention. I scraped my front right rim.. Luckily it isnt that bad but I still need to do something about it. Its on the very outer edge of the rim and its probably 2-3 inches long. I dont want to touch it before I get some ideas from you guys.

I was hoping there would be some products out there to smoothen it out and maybe some sort of touch up paints?

-thanx guys.

I did the same thing and I'm just gonna polish all four rims. It could be fixed very easily by a wheel repair shop but I've been debating over the polishing anyway so this made my decision for me. I know a good wheel polishing guy here in town. Only problem is he's slow, last time he had my rims for a full week. But when you get them back, it's worth it.

If you want to take the DIY approach, grind it smooth with a dremel tool. It should be easy since it is minor. Be sure not to take too much metal off. Then refinish with as close a color you can find. You'll know it's there but nobody else will probably notice it.

bring it to the body shop, they'll send it out and have it fixed. Might be expencive 100 or less, i dunno depends.... But they will have it looking like it never happened. Maybe much less $$ if its just a mere scratch.....
