Default Scratched wheel

Had a flat repaired in "09 xk vert with stock 10 spoke alum wheels. The guy put a nice 2 inch scratch in the wheel getting tire off! Is there anything like a touch up aluminum paint that I can get to at least decrease the visibility of the scratch without having to spend a lot. I am not going to redue the whole wheel, a couple of the wheels already have some curb scratches. thanks,

Here is an earlier post regarding Silver Sparkle Wheel touch up.

Dupli Color BGM0508 Ultra Silver Met (95 WA8867, 96 WA8867) Replaces T191

I tried the paint suggested by tarhealcracker. I have/had a couple of minor curb rashed areas that stood out because the paint was scraped off. The Dupli Color paint above worked great! The spray can (under $7) was cheaper than the same in a touch up bottle. I used a fine brush and applied several light coats....
