Default Alloy Wheel Repair

After spending a good couple of hours cleaning the car last night my wife has unfortunately kerbed the rear passenger alloy today. She's normally very careful but the new Kumho tyres do not give such good rim protection as the standard Dunlops.

Anyway, the scuff is not too bad and after looking at a few online guides I may have a go at repairing it myself. Obviously getting the colour match is vital and I wondered if anyone could suggest a suitable colour match. I would be interested to know if anyone else has had a go.

My wheels are standard Mazda 5 [2008] Sport 2.0 Petrol 17"

Thanks

I've touched mine up from memory with Mazda Sunlight Silver. If it's not "Sunlight" silver, then it's the Silver colour used on the RX8. I found it a very good match and if you do a few coats very carefully you can fill any dents.
