Contact a good body shop and get the paint code for the magnesium wheels.

And then contact paintscratch.com and ask them to make a batch of paint with that paint code.

A chevrolet dealer that has a GOOD body shop should have the code. Talk to the oldest/grayest looking person in the parts/body department and ask them about this. A good dealership will attempt to repair rather than just try to sell you a new wheel.

Your best bet may be to contact a wheel repair shop.

Google for these near your area-under "wheel repair" catagory. They repair usually aluminum or magnesium wheels-painted or polished. They would have the code or could quote you a price to get your wheel repaired professionally. They would be able to remove the curb rash also. They can actually machine the damaged wheel if necessary.

Or a Discount/American Tire shop may know a good and reasonable wheel repair shop in your area. They would see lots of damaged wheels in their normal work day .
