Best way to repair kerbing damage on rims?

[Juan Powerblow]

Despite my best efforts in taking care of my E92, I swapped cars with my dad over the weekend and regretably, he hit the rear rims against a kerb causing a nasty scratch at a small part of the rim's edge. I spoke to E46F about this and for minor damage with no structural damage, it's possible to do a touch-up. I'm reluctant to re-spray the rim entirely since it might look different from other rims. Would appreciate if any of you guys can share your experience on touching-up? i.e. where's the best place to go in KL or PJ and how much should I expect to pay?

Heap Soon is pricey dude. You would have to respray or do little touch-ups.

Ok guys! I did the touch-up at Heap Soon today and they managed to restore the scratched part 99% i.e. it's quite difficult to tell that it's been touched up but there's a teenzie weenzie bit of uneveness. It only cost me RM30 so I'm terribly relieved considering I was contemplating buying a new rim! The touch-up didn't require a respray which was also a major relief. I'm gonna wash the car now and see if it the touch-up is more concealed after being cleaned.
