There will be some alloy wheel repair places around you that can do this no problem. I see it done quite often and it's pretty simple. A little filler metal and a fresh coat of paint. Do a google search for "alloy wheel repair" and stop hitting curbs

Go back to the dealer and see the used car manager. He uses a service that comes in and will fix rash wheels , it'll probably be a couple hundred bucks. Every dealer has a guy like this.

This is why I like flat black... just touch them up with a little flat black and no one can see it. Also, park away from curbs!!!

I keep a can of flat black spray paint for situations like this. However with the Camaro the dealer has me covered on wheels and tires so Id just take it to them.

If you don't want that bright metal showing, use a dremel, scotchbrite pad and blend in some duplicolor wheel paint and clear. |

Not meant in a mean way. Back in to spaces as often as possible and when you can't, find a spot that has no curbs next to it. Had my 5th Gen 1LE for 2.5 years and did this religiously, and never rashed anything. But for your current situation, as suggested above the dealer paint shop/body shop will certainly know a local shop and it is more likely you get a match considering the paint color is so new and maybe not in non GM shop systems etc.
