Default Painting my wheels

I've got a set of LS mesh wheels and I want to paint them. I've already searched and I know the basic steps, but what i wanna know is how do i clean up curb rash. They apparrently had a few run ins with the curb but i got them for $100 so i'm not complaining. Also does anyone know where I can find paint that is the same color Bronze that the do the rotas in. You know that dirty bronze look. thanx for the help

Thank you!

Damn you people and painting your wheels. Spend some money and buy wheels the color you want. Or do what you want. Not our car.
