Default Wheel painting

I've done the searching and read the write ups so i know how to do it.
I do however have some nice curb check on one of the rims (i got them cheap with fresh tires so i didn't mind then) but I do now. So I figured painting them would help to cover it up. Is there anything I can do as far as when i sand the wheels down to fill the gashes? And second as you can see by my sig my car is vivid blue pearl which is the same color as the fit's, and its sitting on SI's What color should I go with? I was thinking a light bronze.

So... to paint and if so ideas on color? or just buy another wheel...
